Frequently Asked

General Medical Questions

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.

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.

Community of Hope wants to ensure that every young adult has access to accurate information about their sexual health. Same day and confidential appointments are available for adolescents and young adults ages 12-24. Services include: general medical care, pregnancy testing, counseling, STD and HIV testing, HPV vaccine, and birth control. Our counselors will help you make a decision that is right for you. IUD’s and implants are available for teens aged 12-19 years old free of charge.

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. 

Stories of Hope.

"

What began as a desire to give back grew into a years-long partnership with Community of Hope. Over time, Melissa served in many roles—from Night of Hope Chair to committee leader, board member, board vice-chair and  board chair. Each experience gave her a different perspective on the organization and a deeper appreciation for the staff, volunteers, donors, and fellow board members who make its work possible.

"

Monique arrived in Ward 8 during a transitional season of her life — newly relocated to an affordable home, and soon after, unemployed. Community of Hope's workforce development program at the Conway Health and Resource Center first brought her through our doors. What she found there became something much bigger than a job program: a community

"

When Symmone first came to the Bellevue Family Success Center, she was excited but a little nervous about meeting new people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, while her college classes had moved online, her mother encouraged her to explore a summer volunteer opportunity.

"

For more than a decade, Darian has trusted Community of Hope with his health care. He learned to manage serious health conditions, made changes along the way, and counted on his care team.

"

When the Community of Hope pharmacy calls to say her prescriptions are ready, Debbierena Hopkins knows she'll be stopping by. Not because she has to – patients can choose delivery or mailing option. She stops by because she wants to.

"

“Something’s not right with you.” Yolanda’s uncle kept telling her something was off with her. What neither of them knew was that she was living with undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes, and her body had been sending signals for years.

"

When Paula came to Community of Hope nearly 20 years ago, she was trying to keep her family together. After the death of her mother, Paula and her six children no longer had a place to live. “That left me and my kids homeless.” At the time, she and her family had to stay in a shelter.

"

For Donnatela, Community of Hope has always been part of her story. She first came to Community of Hope when she was 17 years old. Her mother, who is also a patient, first brought her through our doors. Over the years, she returned for dental care, primary care, wisdom teeth removal, and more.

"

Long before he could easily communicate his feelings with words, Killian—who has autism—found another way to communicate: he sculpted little faces out of clay. "The first thing he started doing was sculpting little faces," Ferris said. "That was his first way of trying to communicate. He would make little faces to let you know how he was feeling."
