Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center (CS-HHC) is pleased to share that it continues to lead the way in improving patient care while reducing unnecessary spending.

Connecticut Department of Social Services officials, who administer the Medicaid Patient Centered Medical Home Plus (PCMH+) shared savings program, reported program results for 2019 (i.e., Wave 2, Year 2). They revealed that CS-HHC received high scores for providing quality health care services, once again, and also saved taxpayer dollars for the 13,000+ participating patients for whom CS-HHC served as primary care provider.

“We continue to demonstrate that you don’t have to compromise quality to save taxpayers’ money. Our focus is prevention, including serious mental health issues, which prevents unnecessary and costly emergency room services,” said Dr. Ece Tek, who leads mental and addiction services. “We serve a community with complex medical issues. Most of our patients are more prone to Covid-19, diabetes, hypertension, and a host of other illnesses,” she said. 

CS-HHC, Connecticut’s first and one of the state’s largest community health centers, was among the first health practices to join the state’s PCMH+ program when it launched three years ago. Regarded as a national leader in community healthcare, CS-HHC now provides state-of-the-art integrated care to more than 50,000 patients from more than 20 sites in New Haven County.
