Effective March 1, 2025, Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) in Dhahran is enhancing patient care by transitioning Primary Care Walk-In services to an appointment-only system. This change, impacting both adult and pediatric services, is designed to provide you with more focused and efficient healthcare experiences. To ensure you continue receiving the best possible care, it’s important to understand how this update affects you and how Mychart Johns Hopkins plays a central role in managing your health journey.
Transitioning to Appointment-Only Primary Care in Dhahran
Moving to an appointment-only model for Dhahran Primary Care means you can plan your visits in advance, ensuring dedicated time with your healthcare provider. Starting March 1, 2025, walk-in services will no longer be available. To schedule your in-person visit, you are encouraged to book appointments proactively through MyChart Johns Hopkins or by calling 800-305-4444. If you arrive at the clinic without a prior appointment, the team will assist you in scheduling a same-day appointment, depending on availability. This shift is aimed at reducing wait times and providing more personalized care for every patient.
Accessing Primary Care Advice Directly
Understanding that health concerns can arise outside of regular office hours, JHAH is expanding its Primary Care Direct Call Services. This service offers you access to general health advice over the phone, making healthcare more accessible when you need it most.
For adults, direct call services are available:
- Sunday to Thursday: 12 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following day.
- Weekends & Holidays: 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following day.
Pediatric direct call services are available seven days a week, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following day. To utilize this service, simply call 800-305-4444 and speak directly with a primary care provider. This expanded service ensures you have access to medical guidance even when you cannot visit the clinic in person.
