Community of Hope has taken many steps to ensure the health and safety of our patients, clients, staff, and community. Read more here.

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.

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.

Please read our Notice of Privacy Practices here.

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 began as a celebratory trip quickly became a fight for survival. Ebony planned a weeklong vacation that turned into her being stranded for two months when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas during her stay in 2019. “I was planning to celebrate a major milestone, but had no clue that a storm was coming,” says Ebony. Once the storm hit, planes were grounded and her savings for the trip quickly dwindled, leaving her stranded physically and financially.  

"

When the world shut down during COVID, she found herself facing storms she never saw coming. A devoted wife of 30 years, mother of five, and “Yaya” to three grandchildren, she had always been the one holding everyone together. But when her own health and peace of mind began to unravel, she realized it was finally time to take care of herself.

"

When Kimberly talks about her health today, her face lights up. She feels stronger, more confident, and in control. After years of struggling with diabetes, she now eats better, has more energy, and her blood sugar is in a healthier range. “If you want to live a longer life, you have to take care of yourself,” she said. 

"

Three years ago, Community of Hope opened our first in-house pharmacy — making it easier for patients to get the medications they need without additional barriers. Since then, the pharmacy has become a trusted part of care, offering convenience, savings, and a team that treats every patient with individualized support. 

"

This month Community of Hope recognized our 45 year anniversary! Forty-five years ago, on September 12, 1980, Community of Hope was signed into existence. What began with a single housing site and a small health clinic at 1417 Belmont Street in Columbia Heights has grown into a support system for thousands of families across Washington, DC. 

"

For years, Ms. Gwen prayed for something many of us might take for granted — a full smile. While she had a partial smile with her top teeth, she couldn’t complete it with bottom teeth because dentures were far too expensive.

"

For Charles, a proud Ward 8 native, living with high blood pressure once felt overwhelming. “My blood pressure was through the roof,” he recalls. “I was eating okay but not like I should. I wasn’t managing things the way I needed to.

"

For 18-year-old Tabatha Gore, this August marks a moment she’s worked toward for years: she’s starting her first semester at North Carolina A&T State University. She’s a first-generation college student with  a scholarship from the Pearl and Ivy Foundation (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, DC Chapter). But behind her accomplishment is a powerful story of caring for her mom, her personal determination, and the support of Community of Hope. 

"

When you meet Jalisa Settles, her warmth and determination shine through instantly. She speaks with the strength of someone who has overcome challenges and is now building a healthier future for her family with the help of Community of Hope’s WIC program. 

"

For over 13 years, Darene has called the Bellevue community ”home.” Just a short walk away she found a place that would become her emotional anchor: the Bellevue Family Success Center at Community of Hope. Here she found a support system that carried her through some of life’s toughest chapters.
