CCHC has designed and developed the Sunland clinic to serve as a model Patient-Centered

Medical Home (PCMH) site. PCMH is a model of care delivery that emphasizes the use of systematic, patient-centered, culturally sensitive and coordinated care processes. In Sunland, the group will incorporate the PCMH processes, related professional development, patient engagement strategies and coordinated care using a team-based approach supported by cutting-edge technology platforms.
