Clinic available for wellness visits

HOPE — Bobcat Clinic Coordinator Gretchen Carlton today reminded Hope Public Schools employees and students they and their families are eligible for wellness visit services through the school-based health clinic.

Carlton said while many HPS personnel have scheduled wellness visits through other means, that does not preclude services through Bobcat Clinic.

“I wanted to remind you that the Bobcat Clinic provides wellness exams,” she said. “At this time, we are able to see your spouse and children as well, even if they are not part of the Hope Public School District.”

Carlton said the Bobcat Clinic is in compliance with Centers for Disease Control guidance regarding COVID-19, as well.

“As many of you know, we are a small facility, so concerns regarding larger crowds are minimized,” she said.

Carlton also noted the clinic on the Hope High School campus is observing regular hours Monday - Friday from 7:30-11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 4 pm.

“If you would like to schedule an appointment, call 870-722-2733 and choose Option 2 to speak to the receptionist,” she said.

Carlton said questions concerning Bobcat Clinic services may be directed to her at the same telephone number.
