Redwoods Rural Services During COVID-19 Pandemic

As a vital component of the nation's health care safety net, Redwoods Rural Health Center is playing an important role in delivering critical services and assisting our local community during the COVID-19 emergency.  

​

We ask all patients to be pre-screened prior to checking in, as an additional safety measure necessary for reopening and to protect the most vulnerable. We ask that you please arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier to accommodate the process. As usual, masks or facial coverings are required, temperature check will be conducted, and a team member will assess a questionnaire. If a patient needs caretaker present during an appointment, it is ok to have one person accompany the patient.  Thank you for keeping our community safe! 

 

​

MEDICAL:

*We continue to offer medical telehealth appointments (via phone and video) to new and established patients. We further encourage patients to return for routine care and non-urgent visits (chronic conditions, preventive visits, well child exams). Call 707-923-2783 to schedule medical telehealth or physical appointments. See RRHC COVID-19 Prevention Activities section below for our preventive measures. 

​

*RRHC offers drive-up COVID-19 testing. 

​

​

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS & REFILLS:

*RRHC can process medication refills without an appointment. Patients should call the pharmacy first to request a refill. For patients prescribed schedule 2 medications, RRHC will try to refill medications electronically, if the pharmacy allows. If patients are part of RRHC’s medication delivery program, they are encouraged to call RRHC and we can meet them in the parking lot to curb-deliver their medications.

​

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH:

*We continue to offer Behavioral Health appointments for established patients via phone or video only. If you would like to meet with your therapist via secure video, please call RRHC in advance of your appointment to set-up the connection. Behavioral Health team is taking limited number of new patients. Call 707-923-2783 to schedule Behavioral Health appointment today.

​

​

DENTAL:

*Main Dental Clinic is open 8:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday, and Satellite Dental 8:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday, and patients can call the office to speak with dental staff before scheduling an appointment. If you are in pain, have infection, swelling and/or broken teeth call RRHC Dental at 707-923-4313 to schedule your appointment. We are also scheduling dental hygiene appointments!

​

​

PERINATAL & WELL CHILD VISITS: 

*RRHC encourages expecting and new mothers to continue Perinatal Services at Redwoods Rural Health Center. Perinatal checks-ups are vital for the health of expecting moms and babies as well as new moms and babies.  Regular check-ups are one of the best ways to detect physical, developmental, behavioral and emotional problems, so babies and children can grow up happy and healthy.

​

​

NUTRITION:

*Nutrition is now open regular hours, offering phone and video appointments. Please call Gina Paine at 707-923-2783 to schedule a nutrition & lifestyle education visit.
