Martin Luther King Health Center & Pharmacy

The MLK Health Center & Pharmacy practices patient-centered care to enhance patients’ clinical results and satisfaction rates by bettering the quality of the provider-patient relationship, while decreasing the utilization of diagnostic testing, prescriptions, hospitalizations, and referrals.

Patient-oriented care replaces the traditional provider-centered system with one that revolves around the patient. Patients know best how well their health care providers are meeting their needs and it is often the patient’s perception of his or her health care delivery that can drive positive outcomes. This method of care relies upon effective communication, empathy, and a feeling of partnership between the provider and patient to improve health outcomes and satisfaction, to lesson patient symptoms, and to reduce unnecessary costs. Patient-centered providers are able to help their patients become more active in the management of their diseases.

The MLK Health Center & Pharmacy endeavors to give patients what they want and need from their providers! A Personal Relationship, Better Communication, and Empathy. It is a low-tech humanistic approach to medicine that strengthens the fundamental bond between the patient and provider.
