More Than 200 Inpatients, Hundreds More Getting Care

She had no doubts about the skill of her caregivers. But, when Etta Hammie arrived at JPS Health Network in November suffering severe COVID-19 symptoms, she didn’t think she had the strength to go on.

Official Press Release

JPS Health Network and Cook Children’s Health Care System have leveraged their ongoing collaboration to improve health services for people of all ages across Tarrant County. 

It’s no secret that 2020 was an extremely tough year to be a medical professional.

JPS Health Network isn’t just a great place to get a broken bone fixed.  

When Jennifer Hernandez started to have a throbbing headache in July, she didn’t think much of it.  

She was only mildly concerned when she also started to feel weak and suddenly didn’t have the energy to get out of bed. 

COVID-19 doesn’t only effect the lungs and hearts of the people it touches, the virus also deeply effects their minds and emotions. 

Dr. Alan Podawiltz, Chairman of Behavioral Health at JPS, said the demand for mental health care has increased dramatically over the past nine months as COVID-19 has spread in our community and around the world. 

Following a year of struggles they couldn’t possibly have imagined, JPS Health Network patients say they’re especially grateful this holiday season to have their health restored and to be home with their families for the holidays. 

When he started working at JPS Health Network four decades ago, Gregory Massey never imagined that he’d still be in the same place 40 years later. 

A prominent local artist has paid tribute to people who work behind the scenes to save lives during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with a series of portraits he’s created called “The Faces of JPS.”
