OCHS now cares for more than 20,000 patients annually, and no one is denied access to services due to an inability to pay.

As a Patient-Centered Medical Home, OCHS holds itself to the highest standards. Ensuring patients have access to care when they need it and request it and validating that staff are working at the top of their licensures are the foundations of this model.
