No. You must first come in for your new patient appointment to meet the provider and then we can schedule a physical.

You may make refill requests using the patient portal at any time. You can also reach our prescription refill line by calling the main number and following the prompts. Please leave a message with the following information: Your name, birth date, phone number, medication needed, pharmacy name and phone number. For diabetic supplies, include the type of glucometer you currently use.

Let the receptionist know that you wish to sign up for the Patient Portal and we will send instruction to your email account. Once you have set up a username and login, you can also use an easy app to access the Portal from your smart phone or the internet. Search for the Healow app. You can also access the Patient Portal from our website. 

The portal will help you recover a lost password or login. You can also contact a receptionist for help.

We are committed to providing quality information and services to Limited-English Proficient individuals. We understand that accurate communication is essential to providing meaningful and competent care. All language services will be provided free of charge.

La clínica Community of Hope Health Services está dedicada a ofrecer información y servicios de alta calidad a las personas que no tengan dominio del inglés. Comprendemos que la comunicación precisa es esencial para proveer un cuidado médico competente y eficaz. Todos los servicios lingüísticos se ofrecerán sin costo alguno.

We often have live interpreters for Spanish and Amharic. In addition, we are able to accommodate any language via the Language Line services.

Most insurance plans require a referral for specialty care. Referrals must be requested and approved by your Community of Hope provider. If you come in for a visit, we will have the referral ready for you before you leave. If you send a message via the patient portal to your provider, let your provider know if you prefer to pick it up or have it mailed. Make sure to give your provider your correct telephone number and address. Once your referral is complete, you will be notified. Referrals may take approximately one week to process and complete.

To request medical records, please ask a receptionist for a Release of Information form or request one through Patient Portal. Once you complete and sign the form, our medical records specialist will process your request within 30 days. If you are calling from another provider’s office, please fax the request to 202.232.8494.

Each of our health centers is a community health center, also called a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). That means that we are a part of a national network of community health centers funded in part by the federal government to make sure that high quality health care is available to everyone. We also receive our malpractice insurance from the federal government through the Federal Torts Claims Act. Community of Hope is fully deemed in this program. More information on FQHCs is available here.

What brought Markesha to Community of Hope was simple: A dream to have a water birth, but what has kept Markesha connected has been a circle of support.

"

This Women’s History Month, we recognize the women whose work and generosity make Community of Hope’s mission possible

"

When Vernada, a mom of four, left Charlotte, North Carolina, she was focused on one thing—keeping her family safe. 

"

LaDonnae Wells, a mother of two, had been searching for stable housing while navigating motherhood. Now, as her youngest child celebrates their first birthday, LaDonnae is expressing deep gratitude to her perinatal care coordinator, who supported her throughout her pregnancy ensuring she had the resources, care, and guidance she needed while also experiencing homelessness. 

"

Black history at Community of Hope isn’t something visited once a year. It’s embedded in how we serve, how we grow, and how we invest in our people. It lives in the stories of staff whose work and leadership have shaped the organization over time. One of those stories belongs to Candice Jones – our longest-serving Black staff member.  

"

At 65 years old, Tony makes healthy choices with confidence. He talks about food labels like a researcher. He monitors his glucose like a scientist. He jokes about giving up pepper steak like it’s a strategic decision —not a sacrifice. But there was a time when none of that felt clear to Tony.

"

After helping raise 15 nieces and nephews, Aaliyah, a first-time mother thought, “Yeah, I got this.” But when her son, Jalen, was born just 8 months ago, she quickly realized that parenting your own child brings a different kind of responsibility and a new set of challenges! 

"

When you think of birthday parties, you think balloons, games, and fun — and that’s exactly what members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.®, Alpha Beta Upsilon Omega Chapter, brought to families in Fam-Club throughout last year, hosting four  birthday parties, and Five nights at Fam-Club! 

"

Just days after giving birth for the first time, new mom and Community of Hope patient, Shayla, gushes about her new arrival: “Everyone says you don’t know love until you meet your child—and it’s very true.” 

"

This January, we’re celebrating a major milestone at Community of Hope: 25 years of Kelly Sweeney McShane’s leadership as President and CEO.
