What makes Swedish Community Health Medical Home unique?
Your personal physician at Swedish Community Health Medical Home has fewer patients in his or her practice than traditional primary-care doctors. This means that you will have 30-60 minutes with your doctor to address your concerns in a comprehensive manner. Your physician also has time to provide the preventive health care that keeps you well. When a medical need arises, you can conveniently get a same-day or next-day appointment. During clinic hours, a staff member will answer the phone promptly. Through e-mail, you can discuss your medical care directly with your health care team and receive a timely response. After hours, you can phone a physician for urgent issues. If you need more complex care, our health care team will use their experience and resources to help you find the best specialists. We will continue to coordinate your care with these specialists.
