OAHS Recertified as Level Three Health Care Home

The Minnesota Department of Health has recertified Ortonville Area Health Services (OAHS) as a Level Three Health Care Home, the highest level of certification available through the program.

Health Care Homes are primary care clinics that meet rigorous standards to deliver patient- and family-centered care. They focus on building strong relationships with patients and families, making care more personal, better coordinated, and easier to access. Clinics at this level work closely with other providers and community services and use a team approach to support each patient’s overall health.

At OAHS, this model includes offering flexible appointment options, assigning care coordinators to help patients manage their care, and ensuring communication across all the providers involved in a patient’s treatment. The goal is to make care smoother, more connected, and focused on each person’s unique needs.

This recognition reflects the ongoing work of the entire OAHS team. In particular, the Clinic and Quality departments lead the effort by maintaining high standards in day-to-day care and long-term planning.
