Since the beginning of the battle against COVID-19, we have heard how many people tested positive each day and how many of them require hospitalization.

But what happens to the people who aren’t hospitalized? Do they just go home and get back to normal in a few days? The truth is many of them have their health linger in limbo for weeks that turn into months. They live an isolated life in their home, worried about what every new symptom means while simultaneously wondering how they’ll pay their bills and who will bring them medicine and groceries.

JPS Health Network was named the best hospital in the United States, according to a new hospital evaluating system unveiled Tuesday by Washington Monthly Magazine. Ranking near the top of every category, it out-scored the most prestigious healthcare organizations in America. 

You might ask yourself, “how is it possible for a public safety-net hospital to out-rank the finest private hospitals across the United States?”

The Hispanic population of Tarrant County is being hit especially hard by COVID-19, according to information on patients compiled by JPS Health Network.

De acuerdo con la información recolectada por JPS Health Network, la población hispana del Condado Tarrant está siendo especialmente afectada por el COVID-19.

One of the toughest parts of being a COVID-19 patient, besides being sick, is being stuck in a hospital room away from your family and friends for a lengthy period of time as you recover.

With the number of COVID-19 cases in Tarrant County rising exponentially in recent days, Dr. G. Robert Stephenson said it’s time to take vigilance against the virus to a new level.

Stephenson, Vice President and Chief Quality Officer at JPS Health Network, applauded the decision of county leaders announced Thursday. It legally requires people to wear protective face masks in public, a move that could reverse the disturbing upward trend of COVID-19 cases in the past few weeks. On Thursday, Tarrant County confirmed 517 new infections, up from 460 the day before.

JPS Health Network has moved into the next stage of its always evolving COVID-19 response with the creation of a new clinic designed specifically to serve the long-term health needs of positive patients.

With the area blood supply at a critically low level, caregivers are counting on a successful drive next week at JPS Health Network.

JPS Health Network’s Nurse Residency Program has been accredited by the American Nurse Credentialing Center, an honor only a handful of healthcare organizations across the country can claim.
