March 31, 2020 – Once the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo announced it was closing all activities due to COVID-19 risk measures, Community Health Network recognized its role as a leader in providing primary health care and to act into preparing its staff for the upcoming battle against COVID-19. Community Health Network has taken all necessary steps to ensure that responding to the needs and safety of the community and its staff comes first. By expanding their testing capabilities, they are providing COVID-19 prescreening and testing by following the Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
“During this time, we are especially aware of our community’s needs. We are asking that due to the limited amount of supplies and personal protective equipment, patients get screened via phone or telemedicine first. When coming in for testing, please limit the number of people in the vehicle to reduce the risk of exposure. I know that this is a difficult time for our community and our families, but we are strong and resilient. Our commitment to the community has never faltered, and we are open and ready to serve.,” said Elizabeth Garcia, Community Health Network’s Clinical Nurse Manager, L.V,N.
Community Health Network is keeping its doors open to the community for adult primary care, prenatal care, women’s health care, pediatrics, behavioral health, pharmacy services, emergency dental as well as COVID-19 testing.
