Horizon Medical Group

Primary Care First Program

Horizon Family Medical Group is committed to providing the Primary Care First is based on the underlying principles of the existing CPC+ model design: prioritizing the doctor-patient relationship; enhancing care for patients with complex chronic needs and high need, seriously ill patients, and focusing on improved health outcomes. Primary Care First addresses these needs by creating a seamless continuum of care and Horizon is tentatively looking at the program, keeping the COVID-19 pandemic in mind. Our community needs us more than ever to help our patients through these times. Horizon has to prioritize helping the community safely navigate through COVID-19 first, then figure out what resources and time it can provide towards other programs. Horizon will provide updates to our patients, if and when we do decide to join the PCF program.

Patient-Centered Medical Home

National Committee for Quality Assurance

Horizon Family Medical Group has developed a Patient-Centered Medical Home, which is a model of primary care where our patients and their families are the centers of our practice! Patient and family needs are our guiding principle. This means that we focus on the relationship between patients and their families and their primary care provider; actually the relationship between patients and families and every person they come in contact with at Horizon Family Medical Group. The Patient-Centered Medical Home model simply refers to the fact that patient and family care will be coordinated here, in the right place, at the right time, and in the manner that best suits care needs for patients and families with primary care providers, These providers, and their care team members will help coordinate patient and family care with other providers, health facilities, and hospitals. And, patients and families are part of our team too. Horizon Family Medical Group’s Patient-Centered Medical Home model will ultimately help us to work with you to get you the healthiest you can be!

Patient Centered Specialty Practice

The Patient-Centered Specialty Practice is a model of specialty care where you are the center of our specialty practices! We are extending our primary care patient-centered medical home to our specialty care practices to provide you and your families with a Horizon patient-centered medical neighborhood. The Patient-Centered Specialty Practice model simply refers to the fact that patient and family care will be coordinated here, in the right place, at the right time, and in the manner that best suits care needs across all types of specialties.

For patients and families with specialty care providers, such as cardiologists, dermatologists, or allergists,  will work closely with primary care providers, acting as the leaders of the health care team. They will help coordinate patient and family care with other providers, health facilities, and hospitals. And, patients and families are part of our team too.
