Bridgewater Pediatrics Medical Home

The American Academy of Pediatrics defines medical home as “a model of care that is accessible, family-centered, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.”

Patient and Family Centered: A partnership among the Bridgewater Pediatrics Provider teams, our Behavioral Health Provider team, our team of Lactation Consultants, Dietician, Medical Home Care Coordinator, our patients, and their families ensures that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences, and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care.

Continuous: Our providers work in collaboration with a shared electronic medical record so any one of them can assist you at any time.

Comprehensive: Our team of providers, behavioral health specialists, lactation consultants, dietician, and medical home care coordinator are wholly accountable for a patient’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care.

Coordinated: Care is organized across all elements of the broader health care system, including specialty care, hospitals, home health care, community services and supports.

Accessible: Patients can access services with shorter waiting times, "after hours" care, 24/7 electronic or telephone access and strong communication through health IT innovations. Our office is open 7 days a week including evenings and weekends. In addition, there is always a provider on call to address your concerns.

Committed to Quality and Safety: Clinicians and staff enhance quality improvement to ensure that patients and families make informed decisions about their health.

Culturally Effective: The practice understands and strives to meet our patients’ diverse cultural and language needs.

If your family has a child with special concerns or needs, our Medical Home Care Coordinator is Ashley. She would be happy to hear from you and work with you to address your concerns.

You can ask to speak to her while you are in the office or call (508) 697-8116 to be connected to her line.
