Nothing is more important to you and your loved ones than having access to convenient and affordable healthcare. However, finding healthcare services that include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases, illnesses, and chronic disorders isn’t always easy for those who live in public housing communities.
Here are four tips for choosing the right accessible health clinic:
- Find a provider who can meet your needs. Because there are different types of healthcare providers to choose from, you need to focus your search on what you need. For example, a pediatrician exclusively treats infants, children, and teenagers. Specialists are trained to address specific types of medical conditions. If you need a provider who can treat your entire family, consider a family nurse practitioner.
- Choose a health clinic that is conveniently located. You’ll want a healthcare provider who is close to where you live or work or offers mobile services that come to you. It also helps to choose a provider that has multiple wellness hubs and offers same-day appointments and telehealth services.
- Consider patient reviews and recommendations. You’ll feel a lot more comfortable visiting a healthcare provider who is recommended by someone you know and who has excellent reviews online. Focus on what other patients have to say about their experience being treated by the provider and the overall quality of the service received at the clinic.
- Meet with the provider. Visit the clinic and meet face-to-face with the provider to determine whether you feel comfortable with your choice. Ask yourself: Are the provider and staff attentive to your needs? Do they have a warm and compassionate “bedside manner?” Do they spend enough time with you and seem committed to helping you and your family not only overcome an illness but also prevent diseases and maintain your overall health?
