 The Blue Hills Community Clinic will open on Providenciales on Feb. 10, offering a variety of free primary care services to residents. The facility will join the Primary Health Care Clinic at the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre in providing residents with preventative, holistic and patient-centered care. Initial services will include antenatal, child health and family practice clinics, and various healthy lifestyle and health promotion programmes. There will also be home visits and community outreach. “Primary health care is an important part of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ health services, and the ministry plans to place increased focus on this area moving forward,” said Ministry of Health and Human Services Permanent Secretary Judith Campbell. “We believe community clinics should be a first stop for persons seeking health care. This way we can focus on prevention and early treatment and reduce future expenditure on secondary health care. The community clinics will allow the major hospitals on Grand Turk and Providenciales to better fulfill their purpose of providing secondary health care.” The Blue Hills Community Clinic will operate from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays with extended hours from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. The ministry says all primary health care services at the clinic will be free of charge, and that medications and other associated medical services will be handled according to established procedures. The ministry thanked to the Department for International Development, TCI government and the Department of Engineering and Maintenance Services for their partnership and support in renovating the clinic. For more information, contact the clinic at 649-946-5613 or 649-946-5642. In case of emergency, go to the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre Emergency Department or call 911. Clinic schedule Monday
