JE Primary and Mental Health Clinic

JE Primary and Mental Health Clinic will provide both primary care and mental health services under one roof, offering a seamless care experience. This integration allows patients to access mental health care as part of their overall wellness without the stigma of visiting a dedicated mental health facility. 

This model ensures better coordination between physical and mental health care, leading to improved patient outcomes. For example, a patient with diabetes and depression can receive both their diabetes management and therapy in a single visit, fostering a holistic approach to their care. 

The clinic will offer telehealth appointments for both primary care and mental health services, making it easier for patients to access care from the comfort of their homes. This is especially beneficial for patients in rural or underserved areas who may struggle with transportation or time constraints. 

By providing secure and HIPAA-compliant telehealth services, the clinic can expand its reach, reduce wait times, and accommodate patients' busy schedules, thus addressing a major accessibility barrier.

As a nurse practitioner-led clinic, JE Primary and Mental Health Clinic will provide an alternative to busy physician practices, reducing wait times and offering personalized, patient-centered care. The clinic aims for a patient wait time of less than one week for new appointments and less than 24 hours for urgent care needs. 

The nurse practitioner approach is known for its focus on building strong relationships with patients, fostering trust, and providing holistic care—qualities that are important in managing chronic conditions and mental health issues.
