JPS Health Network

Every day, our medical translators and interpreters at JPS Health Network work tirelessly to break down language barriers, ensuring that all patients can effectively communicate with their healthcare providers. Their vital role is crucial to improving the overall health of our diverse, multilingual community. Thank you for ensuring that language is never a barrier to quality healthcare! 💙

#JPSHealthNetwork spent the week celebrating the contributions of our APPs! We are grateful to have team members who prioritize our patients and high-quality healthcare.

Nurse Practitioner Jennifer Allard serves the patients of Medical Home True Worth with such passion, and her dream of providing high-quality care to individuals who may not have access to it is what led her to JPS. “Here at True Worth, we have the opportunity to offer a variety of services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness. We address their unique needs by providing support for behavioral health, social concerns, and housing issues,” Allard said. “As one of the three primary care providers working on the clinical side, I can make a difference in healthcare alongside our team.” While Allard has been part of the JPS True Worth team for five years, her connection with JPS began even earlier. She recalled a time when her mother, who worked for a small employer without health insurance benefits, faced challenges in accessing medical care. Ten years ago, her mother suffered a life-threatening injury and she turned to JPS for help. “JPS saved her life,” Allard said. “At that time, I didn't know I would be working at JPS a few years later. I was looking for a transition to a new job and heard from a few of my colleagues that JPS was hiring. The very first job that was available was at Medical Home True Worth. When I read more about it, I was like, ‘Wow, this is amazing! This is a clinic that provides services to people experiencing homelessness.’ That particular population had always interested me.” Allard quickly fell in love with the culture at JPS. She saw everyone as part of the team because they had one big thing in common - they loved what they did. When someone loves what they do, it broadens the impact on everyone, especially the patients. "It is such an amazing place to work," Allard said. "Everyone is so creative in coming up with ways to address the unique needs of the patients. This is why patients stick around for years and years when they move beyond homelessness. It is also why the employees stick around. It's such a cohesive group of people who really love what they do, even when it's hard. That is why I love JPS."
