Becoming a medical home

At Saban, we believe preventive care shouldn’t be a luxury. For some patients, realizing they don’t have to be wealthy to be healthy is a mindset shift. We want them to see us as their health home, to know that this is where they can come for care even when they don’t have an urgent issue.

By paying attention to all the factors that impact health—housing, access to food, job stress, mental health, emotional well-being — we provide deeper support. This includes education and essential tools like our state-ofthe-art MyChart system where patients can see test results and connect with providers between visits. We empower patients to take action for their own health and we’re always expanding our services. With a continued increase in demand for mental health services, we created a family health model and hired our first pediatric psychiatrist.

Having a medical home supports the greater good. When our patients are taken care of, they can be good parents, productive workers, and actively participate in their communities and the greater Los Angeles economy.

When we talk about healthcare, it’s not only the medicine of it. It’s also social — whether it’s housing, food access, transportation, everything is a determinant of health. We work very hard to look at the whole patient, not just the medical aspect.”
