It’s crucial to stick to your appointments with healthcare providers for several reasons.

We even send text message reminders about your appointment time because it matters a lot.

Occasionally, canceling a medical appointment is necessary due to childcare, transportation, or work schedules. In these situations, it’s vital to cancel and reschedule with as much notice as you can. Consistently canceling late or not showing up for appointments is not acceptable.

If you face barriers to attending appointments, speak with our Case Managers. They may assist with transportation needs.

Thank you for keeping your appointments. Your cooperation helps ensure efficient and effective healthcare for all.

HERE’S WHY
YOUR ATTENDANCE MATTERS:

PRIORITIZE YOUR HEALTH

Missing an appointment to monitor your medical condition could make it worse, possibly leading to an unnecessary emergency room visit or hospitalization.

EFFICIENCY MATTERS

Last minute cancellation and no-shows hurt. If we know ahead of time that you won’t be coming, we can adjust schedules, reducing waiting times for others, which allows them to see the doctor sooner. This also gives our Care Team more time to prepare for visits.

CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS

Your absence affects other patients waiting to see the doctor. Some may think skipping appointments helps with scheduling in a busy health center, but this isn’t true. Appointment times are carefully set based on your needs, and disrupting this workflow affects everyone.

Do not wait to schedule your appointment.

Kenosha Community Health Center has many appointment options in Kenosha and Silver Lake to meet your needs.
