Sabine County Reporter
Hope Community Medicine Mobile Clinic will become a familiar sight in Hemphill beginning Thursday, February 20th.
Sabine County offers a
respected medical community
of providers to its residents
and now, joining to help
serve, a Mobile Medical Unit
with many offerings for all
ages. Hope Medical is a
FQHC- Federally Qualified
Health Centers provide
comprehensive health care
services to underserved
communities. Many of the
Texans they serve are
indigent, uninsured, and
underserved. Increasingly
Mobile Medical Clinic coming to serve Hemphill
more FQHCs offer
additional services, such as
dental, mental health, and/or
substance use disorder
treatment. Hope Community
is able to accept Medicaid,
all private insurances, self
pay and they even offer a
sliding scale which is
calculated according to
income to lower health care
cost. It’s not a free clinic,
but at the same time, NO
ONE is turned away. Hope
offers just that... hope for so
many that are uninsured and
underserved. An ID is
required for proof of identity
and your initial visit will
take a few extra moments in
order to establish patient
status.
You may be thinking, “It’s
a bus, they don’t offer what I
need.” Well, keep reading
because chances are, they just
might.
Just a few services they
offer include:
Newborn Checks: from 3-
5 days up to elderly.
Wheelchair lift
Blood draw
Flu, Covid, Strep, RSV,
Mono Testing.
Pap Smears, Pregnancy
testing, Urinalysis, UTI
Annual Wellness and
Physicals
Preventitive Care
Sugar, Glucose and A1C
TX Health Steps- (while
vaccines are not stored in the
mobile unit, if you call ahead
with the request, the provider
will bring to next appointment
date.)
I’m sure there are services
I have left out. Just call and
they will be able to help
answer any questions.
During our interview, we
covered a great deal. For
example- staffing. Many of
you will recognize Jodee
Naples, Family Nurse
Practitioner, a Hemphill
resident who established quite
a following when she served
at Hope Community
Medicine in San Augustine.
She is now the primary
practitioner for the Mobile
unit. She is excited about
being back in Sabine County
regularly to serve her home
community.
Another bonus for anyone
visiting the mobile unit - a
meal bag, filled with staples
to support feeding for a week.
This extra is geared to help
meet the needs of many
during this time of inflation
and economic crisis. Hope
strives to help.
Don’t take my word for it.
Make an appointment now for
their next visit today! For more info:
The number is 936-598-2717.
