Affinia Healthcare has once again received national recognition for its commitment to patient care.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has recognized all five Affinia Healthcare health centers with the Patient-Centered Medical Home honor.

“Our health center staffs have done a fantastic job ensuring residents in our community are receiving the best care available,” said Takisha Lovelace, Vice President/Chief Operating Officer. “We are humbled and honored for the recognition and know that it is a true team effort to provide high levels of care for our community. It’s a mission we take seriously, and will continue to do the work to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.”

The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and others. The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication and patient involvement.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology, and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Affinia Healthcare has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”

Affinia Healthcare has health centers in North and South St. Louis, Pagedale, and Ferguson. The community health center also operates school-based clinics in three area school districts, and other satellite locations.
