What is a medical home?
A medical home is the health center where patients receive check-ups, annual physical exams, screenings, immunizations, follow-ups for health conditions or for those feeling sick. Seeing a doctor on a regular basis can keep patients healthy and ensure they receive timely and appropriate treatment.
How do I start my care with a provider?
Call 713-526-4243 to make an appointment with a Harris Health provider at a health center near your home or a location that’s convenient for you. Your first visit will address your health concern(s) and allow the provider to learn about your medical history. This will become your medical home. You can always change your medical home location by talking to staff at the clinic’s front desk.
Can I see specialists at Harris Health?
Yes, we have renowned experts in a variety of specialties available to you for many conditions including diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Your primary care doctor will refer you to specialists if they consider it necessary to manage your health condition.
What do I do after hours if I am not feeling well?
If you are experiencing symptoms or need medical attention and it’s after hours, call Ask My Nurse, the nursing hotline (713-634-1110), available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to offer advice on possible self-care at home, a clinic visit or care at a hospital emergency center.
