Six Weld County clinics honored
The six clinics include one facility each in Johnstown, Eaton and Windsor, as well as the internal medicine, family medicine and pediatric medicine clinics in Greeley.
The awards, bestowed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, are based on the clinics’ use of a set of care practices known as “patient-centered medical home.” Studies have shown that such practices, which include use of open scheduling, expanded hours, and proven health information systems, can lead to lower costs and higher quality care.
