About Us

Medical Home Network (MHN) is dedicated to transforming care in the safety net, reducing disparities and building healthier communities. Based in Chicago, MHN powers the future of healthcare delivery by creating integrated community-based systems of care that focus on the whole person. MHN’s innovative approach consistently delivers leading health outcomes, savings, and quality results under value-based arrangements.

The MHN proven model of care is focused on linking care coordination to primary care at the practice level. Care teams hired from the community provide culturally sensitive whole-person services, building trust with patients while coordinating their care across all venues and settings. Our technology platform, MHNConnect, connects providers and enhances communication across the health care system in service of the patient.

Along with care coordination, care management is an essential part of the MHN approach. The care management process begins with an HRA screening that addresses social determinants of health (SDoH) and identifies rising risk in patients.

MHN is leveraging our deep experience with the Medicaid population to improve care for Medicare beneficiaries through the ACO REACH model. Medical Home Network REACH ACO partners with federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to organize them for success under value-based care and create community-based systems of care around our proven approach.
