PATIENT-CENTERED

Long before patient-centered health care became a catchphrase, community health centers have been quietly and competently focusing over the last ten years on transforming health care from simply the treatment of illness to promotion of healthy living.

Community Health Centers in Hawai‘i proactively focus on prevention, integration of care, and wellness. They use teams of providers that coordinate treatment of the whole person and have relationships with other community providers and organizations that allow health centers to better integrate care with specialists and hospitals.

Ultimately, the patient-centered care practiced at Hawai‘i’s CHCs improves health outcomes, lowers costs, and creates thriving, healthier communities.
