The first wave of vaccines have started being distributed to healthcare workers which means in the coming months it will become available to more and more people.

Before the FDA licenses (approves) a vaccine, the vaccine is tested extensively by its manufacturer. FDA scientists and medical professionals carefully evaluate all the available information about the vaccine to determine its safety and effectiveness." So, while the vaccine is new it has been rigorously tested and vetted. for more information on how vaccines are tested please click the link below! https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/basics/test-approve.html

Early HIV diagnosis is crucial. Everyone between the ages 13-64 should be tested at least once. People at higher risk of acquiring (or exposure to) HIV should be tested at least annually. December is National HIV & AIDS Awareness month and in honor of that we ask you to get tested and take control of your health!

Today is National Physicians Assistant Day! We are so lucky to have Jaime Lopez as our PA on staff! Jaime, your ability to connect with your patients and our community is so unique and we are so honored to have you here with us helping the community strive for wellness and overall better health! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to make Winters Healthcare the best it can be! Here is a short bio about Jaime to help you get to know him a little better! Call a...nd make an appointment to see him today, or just say hello next time you're at the health center! "Hello! I am Jaime Lopez, I am bilingual speaking both English and Spanish. For my education I went to UC Davis FNP/PA program, graduated in 2004-Physician Assistant certificate. Having worked as a medical assistant for an FQHC for a number of years in the late 90’s, I was inspired by the physicians, nurse practitioner and physician assistants whom I work for, to study medicine; Another inspiration came from my older brother, who is a physician. My specialty has been Family Medicine-Ever since I started working in healthcare, I have always worked in family practice; I enjoy helping a wide range of patients-from pediatric patients to elderly. As a family medicine practitioner, I see pediatric and adult patients, with a wide variety of issues, from common acute illnesses, to chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal disorders, to name a few. Overall, as a medical provider I would describe myself as Caring, compassionate, empathetic and understanding; I feel that patients gravitate towards me for those qualities, as well as my clinical abilities. It brings me immense joy when I see a patient achieve their health goals, being part of the integrated care team, and seeing patients make progress on their goals is always inspiring. Outside of the Health center I enjoy Music, DIY-from auto mechanics, to straightforward home improvement projects, to landscaping, and someday I plan craft my own red wine! However, what I enjoy most is being able to serve the community in which I grew up in!"
