Our Care Model
Lawndale Christian Health Center is recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). PCMH is a model of health care that strengthens the relationship between providers and patients through long term care from one care team at one location led by a physician. As a PCMH, Lawndale Christian Health Center’s goal is to provide personalized and coordinated care that is high quality, affordable, and effective.
PCMH services provided by LCHC include same-day, evening, and weekend appointments, preventive care, school physicals, an online patient portal, and self-care management.
