– Guests: Dr. Sherri Diamond, board certified in Family Medicine at Little Rock Community Health Center | “Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day” is a national campaign that is vital for encouraging black communities and non-black people of color to pursue preventative health measures that they might not do on their own, perhaps out of distrust in doctors or financial inability. When your loved ones put off seeing a doctor, a “tiny” health problem can become a “big health problem.” “Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day” is Tuesday, September 18th. However, you can still schedule an appointment beyond that particular date. JCCSI (Jefferson Comprehensive Care System, Inc.) has locations in Little Rock and North Little Rock where you do not need health insurance to be seen. A sliding fee scale is offered for the uninsured. Walk-ins are accepted. Community Health Centers provide high quality, cost-effective health care services to everyone regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. To schedule an appointment, contact:
- Little Rock Community Health Center | 1100 North University Ave., Suite #125 | 501-663-0055 | Dr. Sherri Diamond (board certified in Family Medicine) and Keesha Brown, APRN
- North Little Rock Community Health Center | 2525 Willow Street, Suite #1 | 501-812-0225 | Dr. Marcus Crouther (board certified in Family Medicine)
