ORLANDO | Hope & Help announced via social media July 14 that it would be closing its facilities due to the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in Central Florida.
The health care facility stated in its post that telehealth appointments will be available for most medical services and case management.
The closure comes as Florida experienced record-high numbers of positive COVID-19 tests this passed week.
Hope & Help reopened its facilities with limited appointments in June as Florida started moving toward opening businesses after initially closing all but essential businesses in March. At the time, Hope & Help also announced it would postpone its annual Orlando AIDS Walk.
“Our number one priority is our staff, patients, clients, volunteers, donors and community’s health and well-being,” said Lisa Barr, Hope & Help’s executive director, in a statement in March. “We remain committed to taking swift, appropriate actions to protect those that need us and support our mission. We are very sorry to postpone this important event, but know the community understands our position.”
Patients can call 407-645-2577 to schedule a telehealth appointment with Hope & Help.
