Current Projects: Patient Care

The CHYRON team is currently developing the interdisciplinary patient care models and protocols for the expanded clinical services component of their flagship program in Louisville, Kentucky: The Underwood and Lee Clinic.

The new Underwood and Lee clinical program will feature primary care medicine, comprehensive general dentistry, and neurodevelopmental psychiatry as core service components. The program model currently being developed by the CHYRON team provides for the delivery of these interdisciplinary services at a single clinic site. The model brings developmental physicians and dentists, residents, externs, and fellows into the same clinical environment where the concept of interdisciplinary primary care can take shape in the form of a comprehensive, coordinated, team-oriented approach to whole-person health care.

Additionally, the program model will feature day clinics, which will bring community-based neurologists, cardiologists, oral surgeons, periodontal surgeons, prosthodontists, podiatrists, optometrists, audiologists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, physiatrists, geneticists, and other specialists to the Underwood and Lee Clinic.

By accessing this rich network of community-based specialists, and by bringing this wealth of expertise to the treatment planning table, valuable specialized health care services can be coordinated to fit seamlessly with the primary care treatment plan, improving overall health outcomes for our special patients.
