- You can receive a printed summary of your visit to help you remember important details regarding your health.
- With electronic records the privacy of your medical information will be more secure.
- Insurance verification will continue to be automated to ensure a speedy registration process.
- The statement you receive for services will look slightly different however, costs for care will remain the same. You can still contact Dean Thomas, Billing Director at (612) 238-3535 with questions you have about the charges.
Thank you for choosing People’s Center as your healthcare provider. Your health is our priority and we look forward to continuing to serve your needs with the same high quality care that you have come to expect from us.
Our staff is here to help. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
We are excited to announce a partnership with the Minnesota Internship Center (MNIC) that brings necessary health services to the students who attend the MNIC Charter Schools.
On September 17, People’s Center Health Services opened a school based clinic at the East High School in Minneapolis. The clinic is open on Thursdays, from 10:00-2:00 p.m.
At the clinic, students can receive sports physicals, annual check-ups, lab services, nutritional health counseling, immunizations, behavioral health services and services for other health concerns. There is also an interpreter to assist in communication for Somali speaking youth.
Through partnerships such as this, People’s Center Health Services extends its 40 year history of actively promoting the health and well being of people in the community. The partnership meets the growing needs of the community by facilitating access and bringing the clinic to the student.
Open Access
The goal of People’s Center Health Services is to provide high quality, confidential care to everyone that walks through our doors. In an effort to serve you and all our patients in a timely manner we are instituting new policies regarding appointments.
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time
- If you are late another patient will be given your appointment time
- If you are late, you will be asked if you would like to be placed in the waiting pool. There is no guarantee that you will be seen by your primary provider or that you will be seen that day. Patients in the waiting pool will be seen on a first come, first served basis.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Bring your ID and insurance card (if you have one) to every visit
- If you need an interpreter, have them with you when you check in for your appointment
- To keep the providers on time, you will only be treated for the issue that you made the appointment for. If you have additional issues, you will be requested to make another appointment.
If you have any questions regarding the new procedures, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
