About PCHP
In the 1980s, many of the medical offices of Primary Care Health Partners (PCHP) were part of Community Health Plan (commonly known as CHP). Later, California-based Kaiser Permanente purchased the CHP offices and managed them until Kaiser decided to leave the northeast in 1999. In January 2000, a group of primary care physicians formed PCHP with offices in both New York and Vermont. This created the largest privately-owned primary care medical group in the state of Vermont. Since 2000, PCHP has been expanding our services to more communities in New York and Vermont.
Our Mission
We are a group of physician-owned, independent primary care practices. Through our patient centered medical home model*, we work collaboratively to provide compassionate, accessible, high quality healthcare. We believe that through this work we can enhance the well-being of our patients, and the quality of health in our communities.
*Patient-centered medical home model—a model for primary care which provides a team based approach to comprehensive, coordinated, accessible care with accountability for quality and safety and with a focus on education and self-management tools to help patients take an active role in their health and well-being.
Our Vision
Primary Care Health Partners will remain an independent physician-owned model for integrated quality health care. We will strive to remain adaptable, resilient and fiscally responsible. We will stay at the forefront of primary care using an evidence-based approach and embrace quality improvement tools and new technologies.
