Frontline for Health Care Reform and Interprofessional Care

At CUHCC we're transforming urban health care and educating the next generation of healthcare professionals.

CUHCC offers a full range of dental and mental health services that are typically not offered at a community health center, such as prosthodontic services and psychiatry. CUHCC has pharmacists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, dentists, dental hygienists, nurses, family nurse practitioners, family practice physicians, internal medicine physicians, internal medicine-pediatric physicians, licensed social workers and psychologists among other disciplines on staff.

CUHCC's interprofessional care model uses a collaborative, team-based approach to deliver education and patient care, integrating these services. Students and residents at CUHCC have the opportunity to work with other students and preceptors in other fields to best serve the complex needs of the patients. Over half of CUHCC’s mental health patients also receive medical services at CUHCC, allowing CUHCC providers to work collaboratively to provide patient centered care.

As a founding member in the country's first accountable care organization (ACO) for federally qualified health centers, CUHCC is leading change in urban health and improving patient outcomes to meet the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim: improve the patient experience, improve patient health, and reduce the cost of patient care.

The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota was created more than 50 years ago in response to a legislative mandate to train primary care physicians. Since then, we have been leaders in transforming the specialty through education, research, and patient care. We are the academic sponsor of eight family medicine residencies—five in the Twin Cities, three in Greater Minnesota. We are involved in medical student education activities across the Medical School's two campuses: Twin Cities and Duluth. We sponsor four fellowship programs—sports medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, behavioral medicine, and human sexuality— and offer continuing medical education opportunities. We are regularly among the top National Institutes of Health-funded family medicine departments and are currently 2nd in Blue Ridge Rankings. Our faculty are actively researching health disparities, healthcare delivery, and population health. More at https://med.umn.edu/familymedicine.
