State of Franklin Healthcare Associates aims to provide outstanding levels of access and convenience for patients and their families.

Patient-Centered Medical Home Practices

SOFHA practices are recognized as Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practices by National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).

The Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care. PCMHs build better relationships between people and their clinical care teams. Research shows that they improve quality, the patient experience and staff satisfaction, while reducing health care costs.

This recognition reflects our commitment to providing quality improvements within our practice and a patient-centered approach to care, resulting in happier and healthier patients.
