To Our Patients:

With COVID-19 infection rates on the rise, Julia’s Center is concerned for you, your family, and your friend’s health and safety as well as for the providers and all the volunteers. Therefore, Julia’s Center to fight the spread of COVID-19 in our community and protect others, is suspending all in-person patient appointments until after the holidays. Instead of in person appointments, we will conduct televisits for patients with appointments in December. We have recently upgraded our communication equipment and can provide audio as well as video tele-health visits when requested. For patients with appointments in December, we will be reaching out to you to work out the details of conducting your appointment as a televisit with a provider.

Some things to know and keep in mind as we deal with the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak.

We have put together key items from a PDF distributed by the CDC. Basically, they suggest social distancing or keeping about 6 feet from others when you go to the grocery store etc. Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face unless you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds in warm soapy water. If you feel ill, stay at home for two weeks to self quarantine, just in case. (more…)

With the recent information reported in the Dallas Morning News, it shows without a doubt, that healthcare clinics, like Julia’s Center, serve an ever growing need to provide healthcare services to people without health insurance and who cannot afford to pay. As Dianne Solis points out in her article, the lines and wait times for patients without enough money or health insurance are long for medical services at low cost or no cost clinics in the Dallas area. She noted that one-third of the patients are children, and that the number is up from two years ago due to fear of deportation by illegal immigrants when and if federal government resources are used.
