Discovery Health Center

We have seen such incredible progress at our Discovery Health Center over this past year. Based on extensive quality metrics, the Health Center earned recognition as an NCQA level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home for the 11th consecutive year, and an accreditation as a National Exemplary Provider - eligible for Rural Health Clinic certification by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which will pave the way for future expansion of coordinated care services.

The Clinic staff provided non-stop Psychiatric, Medical, and Clinical services including COVID-19 and flu testing, vaccines and booster clinics, Dental Services and Occupational, Speech, and Physical Therapies.

This year, as every year, they simply met TCFD residents where they were. On one occasion, this meant the dental team visiting an anxious resident at his home and helping him eventually transition to visits at the Clinic In our Healthy Lifestyles Clinic, this meant our team working closely with an overwhelmed mom to create an individualized diet and exercise plan for her overweight son who was at risk for more weight gain from his medications. He lost 20 pounds.
