Quote

"A lot of people think of the medical home as a source of primary care, or just a place to go when you need to see a doctor, but it's far, far more than that. That's why there is a high expectation that medical homes may be a very important factor in improving care in this country." Bonnie Strickland, Director, U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration's division of services for children with special health care needs
