The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

The DPP was grant-funded here at Valley for the last four years by the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI). The program will continue to be offered to patients in coordination with our Lifestyle Medicine program and the YMCA. Here are the presentation VIDEO and the SLIDES.
