Minnesota Department of Health Recertifies Alomere Health as a Level 3 Health Care Home 

The Minnesota Department of Health has recertified Alomere Health as a Level 3 Health Care Home. Alomere Health’s certified primary care clinics met a set of rigorous standards to provide patient and family-centered care and will continue working to improve the quality, experience, and value of care. 

Health Care Homes provide complete care ranging from disease prevention to management of complex and chronic conditions and are dedicated to meeting the highest standards for health care delivery. Certified Health Care Home clinics offer a team-based approach to primary care that makes it easier for patients to communicate and partner with their care team. They are their patient’s home for health care. 

A Health Care Home coordinates care with specialists and community services to ensure patients receive what they need to stay healthy and improve and manage their health. This includes expanded access to appointments, 24/7 access to a clinic representative, proactive planning for care, designated patient care coordinators, and an overall focus on quality improvement. 

Alomere Health is proud to announce that its primary care clinics have been certified by the Minnesota Department of Health as Level 3 HCHs. This means that both clinics have met the requirements of the Foundational Level of certification as well as those of Level 2, which require work to reduce disparities, enhance health equity, and strengthen partnerships with the community. To reach Level 3 certification, the clinics have also done considerable work to integrate care delivery with the community, including contributing to the community health needs assessment and population health improvement process, as well as playing a role in implementing and monitoring the progress of community health improvement efforts. 

This recertification as a Level 3 Health Care Home reflects our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. Our dedicated teams continuously strive to enhance care coordination, improve health outcomes, and strengthen our partnerships within the community to better serve our patients and their families.
