AS AN FQHC, MID-STATE OPERATES WITH A CLEAR AND COLLECTIVE VISION OF PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY PRIMARY CARE SERVICES TO ITS GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED, RURAL COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS FOUR SERVICE DELIVERY SITES. AS A RECOGNIZED PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE, MID-STATE IS COMMITTED TO THE DELIVERY OF A COORDINATED, PERSONALIZED CARE EXPERIENCE AS PART OF AN INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH MODEL.
