Our exams are read and interpreted by a trusted offsite team of board-certified Radiologists.
Physical Therapy
OCHD’s Physical Therapy staff cares for individuals whose ability to function is impaired by disease or injury. Physical Therapy’s primary focus is individuals with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and integumentary (skin, glands, hair and nail) disorders. Staff evaluates the level of function related to these disorders and implements the appropriate therapeutic procedures to maintain, improve or restore these functions.

Team-Based Care
The medical team at Oneida Comprehensive Health is phasing in a patient centered model of care called team-based care. This model of care places each patient at the center of a team of providers and staff who can help them address all of their health care needs from preventative care to management of chronic conditions.
Team-based care offers patients advantages including access to care, improved patient outcomes, stronger relationships with your care team and higher quality interactions with a team that knows you and your medical background. This higher level of care and better outcomes are possible because each team has shared goals, clear roles and effective communication all centered around you, the patient.
How are teams structured?
We will have team-based care teams for Internal Medicine, Family Practice and Pediatric medicine. Family practice will have more than one team because of its size. Each team will consist of:
- two providers (physicians and/or nurse practitioners)
- one registered nurse (RN)
- two licensed practical nurses (LPN) and/or medical assistants (MA)
Each team will focus on a smaller population of patients, which will enable them to get to know you at a deeper level.
