Hospital Authority adjusts designated clinic and general out-patient clinic services
************************************************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson announced today (October 3) that the HA designated clinic for COVID-19 confirmed cases (designated clinic) located at Central Kowloon Health Centre will cease operation on October 6 and resume general out-patient clinic (GOPC) service on October 7. GOPCs will also resume some services which were partially suspended earlier, including the Sunday and public holiday and the evening clinic services, starting from October 7 (Annex I).
The HA spokesperson said, “Taking into consideration the recent epidemic developments and the demand for medical services from members of the public, the HA has reviewed the current operation situation and decided to cease the operation of a designated clinic, and to resume the partially suspended GOPC services in phases so as to provide appropriate treatment to patients in need.”
The seven remaining HA designated clinics and tele-consultations (Annex II) will continue to provide services and support for the confirmed patients in the community. Patients and their family members or carers can make an appointment with a designated clinic for an in-person consultation by calling the selected designated clinic during the booking and service hours or using the “Book Tele/DC” function on the HA’s one-stop mobile app “HA Go” to book an appointment for a designated clinic or tele-consultation service.
The spokesperson added that the HA will continue to closely monitor the epidemic situation and service demand, in order to resume more suspended services in accordance with the operational situation.
My Pure Delivery Professional Open House My Pure Delivery Breastfeeding Clinic is hosting a professional open house on Thursday, April 21 from 4-8 p.m. at their newly opened location in Plano. They hope to welcome practitioners including childbirth workers and pediatric, women’s health, and postpartum care providers to build connections to create more comprehensive care for families. As in-network providers with most major insurance companies, My Pure Delivery makes specialized lactation care accessible to more families in their communities. During the open house, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the clinic, meet with My Pure Delivery staff including founder and CEO Diba Tillery, and learn more about how the services provided by My Pure Delivery can complement providers’ existing services. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. My Pure Delivery has had great success partnering with local practitioners in the Austin area and looks forward to making the same quality of connections in DFW. The company believes that strong relationships and communication between health professionals are integral components of providing the highest level of care to the families that they serve. My Pure Delivery can be a resource for families through all stages of infant feeding from prenatal education, beginning breastfeeding, returning to work, and weaning. By partnering with prenatal, pediatric, and postpartum care providers, they are able to help families access a more robust array of services. My Pure Delivery Breastfeeding Clinic provides help and support to new and expectant parents through private lactation (breastfeeding) consultations, prenatal and postpartum classes, support groups and hospital grade breast pump rentals. Their team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), breastfeeding educators, and support staff are committed to providing the highest level of care to families in a time of transition. Services are currently offered in person at two clinics (a DFW-area clinic located in Plano and an Austin-area clinic located in Cedar Park) and virtually through a HIPAA secure telehealth platform. Expanding online lactation services in 2020 has allowed them to see patients nationwide.
