Why Keeping Your Appointments at Pillar Health & KCHC Matters
At Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center, we’re here to provide the best possible care for you and your family. Your health is important to us, which is why we send reminders via text message to help you stay on track with your appointments.
We understand that life can get busy, and sometimes work, transportation, or childcare challenges can make it hard to attend. If you need to cancel, it’s essential to let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule your visit and provide the same opportunity to another patient.
If you’re facing challenges getting to your appointments, our Case Managers may be able to help. Whether it’s arranging transportation or finding other solutions, we’re here to support you.
Your cooperation in keeping your appointments helps ensure better care for everyone in our community.
Why Your Attendance is Important:
1. Take Care of Your Health:
Missing a visit can lead to delayed treatment, making your condition worse and possibly requiring a visit to the emergency room or hospitalization. Regular check-ups and monitoring help you stay healthy and avoid bigger health problems.
Self-Management: Keep Your Appointments and Build a Healthy Routine
Attending your appointments is a key part of managing your health. Regular visits allow your care team to monitor your progress, address concerns early, and help you build a routine that prioritizes your well-being. Keeping your appointments isn’t just about today—it’s about staying on track for a healthier tomorrow.
2. Keep Things Running Smoothly:
When appointments are canceled at the last minute or missed entirely, it disrupts the schedule. Letting us know in advance allows us to adjust, helping reduce wait times and giving our Care Team the time they need to prepare for every patient.
Self-Monitoring: Pay Attention to Your Body—Know How You’re Feeling and What’s Normal for You
Between visits, self-monitoring is crucial. Tune into your body, and take note of any changes, symptoms, or concerns. Knowing what’s normal for you can help you recognize when something feels off. Share these observations during your appointments so your care team can provide the best guidance and support.
3. Be Considerate of Others:
Skipping an appointment doesn’t free up time—it affects the flow of care for everyone. Each appointment is carefully scheduled based on the needs of our patients. If you don’t show up, it impacts others who are waiting to be seen and others trying to schedule an appointment.
Self-Care: Taking Care of Yourself Means Staying on Top of Prevention and Screenings—Don’t Wait Until Things Get Worse
Prevention is one of the most important aspects of self-care. Screenings and check-ups allow us to catch potential health issues early, when they’re easier to treat. Skipping appointments or delaying care can lead to more serious health problems down the road. Don’t wait until your health spirals out of control—taking action now is the best way to protect your future.
