San Luis Valley Health

Your Medical Home

We deliver healthcare that revolves around you as the patient. When you receive care at San Luis Valley Health, you are treated by a team of people that know you as a whole person. We call this way of delivering care, your "medical home."

YOUR HEALTH CARE TEAM

With our medical home model, we work together as a team that includes:

You
Your primary care provider
Nurses working with your provider
A care coordinator, sometimes called a navigator
Our front desk and support staff
Experts such as health educators, therapists, social workers, specialists, and others

YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER

Your primary care provider leads this team and arranges for appropriate health care services with other qualified clinicians when needed. This results in more personalized, coordinated, effective and efficient care for you.

This relationship with your primary care provider offers comfort, convenience, and a path to the optimal health you want and need throughout your lifetime.

At San Luis Valley Health, we know that involving patients and their families in health care decisions is an essential step in providing high quality, comprehensive, and appropriate care.
