Primary Care Health Services, Inc. is a
private, community-based nonprofit corporation, formed in 1976 as the successor
to the Homewood-Brushton Neighborhood Health Center (founded in 1968). Located
on Hamilton Avenue in the Homewood community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the
health center was subsequently renamed the "Alma Illery Medical
Center" to honor the civic leader and community champion Mrs. Alma Illery.
Today, the Alma Illery Medical Center is the
flagship for a county-wide system of nine medical, four dental, seven healthcare
for the homeless, and one family support services sites operated by Primary
Care Health Services, Inc., to address the unique needs of a multicultural,
predominately low-income population.
Regardless of our patient’s ability to pay,
PCHS is dedicated to providing quality medical and dental services to children
and adults, as well as:
Developing healthcare centers in medically
underserved areas
Ensuring that services are accessible, relevant, and of high quality
Rendering continuing care to patients by the same clinician
Mission
To provide quality healthcare, and useful
educational health services to the residents of Western Pennsylvania.
Vision Statement
To ensure that continued care is rendered to an
individual by the same physician and that patients assume some responsibility
for their care through ongoing health, education, and prevention.
We envision a region where health
services are accessible and meet the needs of the population, while patients
assume responsibility for their care through consistent appointments,
education, and prevention
