In just 13 days, you can help a patient continue healing beyond the hospital. 💙

Managing a chronic condition is difficult. Add barriers like transportation, medication costs, limited resources or unstable housing, and the path forward can become even harder. The JPS Chronic Disease Management Program helps patients navigate the days and weeks after discharge with personalized support, remote monitoring, education and essential resources.

Your gift helps us reach more patients with the tools and support they need.

You don’t have to wait until September 17 to make an impact. Early giving is open now—give today to help provide patients with the resources they need beyond the hospital.

September is Sepsis Awareness Month, and it's one of the most important things we can teach our community.

Sepsis happens when the body's response to infection turns into an attack on itself. It can move fast and it can affect any of us: a scraped knee, a UTI or even the flu can turn into sepsis if it isn't caught in time.

Know the signs and be on TIME!

To learn more about sepsis, talk with your physician or visit the CDC website, https://www.cdc.gov/sepsis/about/index.html

Smelling smoke in the air today? You're not imagining it.

With ongoing wildfires across Texas, we may see a bit more air pollution than normal.

Here are a few easy ways to protect yourself for the next few days:
- If you can smell smoke, please keep your windows closed.
- Take it easier on outdoor activities especially if you have asthma or other respiratory issues.
- For sensitive groups (kids, older people, anyone with asthma, COPD or heart conditions) it's best to stay indoors when the air looks hazy,

Our hearts are with the communities closest to the fires. 💙

Early Monday morning, JPS Health Network identified suspicious activity within our technology environment. To isolate and secure the environment, we made the decision to take our network systems down using a controlled network downtime.

Our IT teams continue to work diligently to resolve the downtime. At the same time, our clinicians and staff remain fully engaged in caring for our patients and are using established downtime procedures to continue providing care. We apologize for the disruption this downtime has caused.

Restoring our technology environment safely is careful, methodical work that takes time. Based on our current assessment, we expect to remain under downtime procedures for the next several days.

Our focus remains firmly on our patients during this time. Clinical leaders are continually evaluating services using established quality checks, clinical protocols and operational assessments. Some services may be temporarily paused, adjusted or moved based on our ability to provide care safely. Every decision is being made with safe, high-quality patient care at the forefront.

Patients should keep scheduled appointments unless contacted directly by their JPS care team. We understand the importance of timely healthcare, including access to medications.

Patients who need assistance should contact the appropriate JPS call center:

JPS Main Hospital: 817-702-3431
JPS Community Health Centers: 817-702-1100
JPS Outpatient Behavioral Health: 817-702-3100
JPS Outpatient Pharmacies: 817-702-3531

Anyone experiencing a medical emergency should call 911.

Throughout this disruption, our commitment remains steadfast: to provide safe, high-quality care that our community trusts JPS to deliver. We are grateful to our teams for their resilience, professionalism and dedication to our patients and to one another. We appreciate our community for your support. We will continue to share confirmed information and provide updates as our work progresses.
