The Odyssey House Community Health Center (CHC) is a patient centered medical home 

providing primary care that is patient-centered, comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. The OHL CHC received its National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition in 2014. This is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs. Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient’s care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the health care system. We obtain complete medical histories and provide treatments based on evidence-based guidelines. We help link you to specialists when needed through our network of collaborating agencies.
