“We've heard some stories from our parents still feeling uneasy bringing their kids for their scheduled physicals and #vaccines. We can see that many are overdue. I want to remind the community the health of your children are our most important priority. We are here to provide you with everything you need while very safely delivering care."

Happy Labor Day from St. Jude Heritage Medical Group! We hope you enjoy the day with fun celebrations with your loved ones. A reminder you can help keep our communities safe by continuing to wear your mask, socially distancing and practicing proper hand hygiene!
With the opening of our new Providence urgent care in #AnaheimHills, Dr. Christian Lising shares his gratitude:
"It has been an incredible two months. Patients have told me how there are very few urgent cares around so we are so excited to be here and serve the community. We've had a chance to meet so many parents and students of nearby Canyon, El Camino Real, and Yorba Linda High Schools and the reception has been so generous. I'm very proud of our team for the connections we've already made and look forward to many more."

This year it’s especially important to get your flu shot. The flu vaccine can’t stop you from getting COVID-19, but it can offer protection from the flu so that your body will be in fighting condition should you contract another virus.

Why it’s even more important this year to be prepared for cold and flu season
Providence and our family of organizations continue to follow local, state and federal guidelines and requirements for vaccine distribution. While today we’re currently offering the COVID-19 vaccine to certain high and medium-risk individuals, including health care personnel and residents and patients in long-term care facilities, we know this information could change quickly.
Although the vaccine is not being offered to the general public right now, we will keep you updated as vaccinations become more widely available. In the meantime, there is no need to contact us to schedule a vaccine appointment. We’ll reach out to you to ensure those who are eligible next are notified in a timely manner, and as supplies allow.
