“This is another step on the road to providing convenient care for our community,” said Philippe Chiliade, chief medical officer of Whitman-Walker Clinic. “With Capital Pride taking place this week and National HIV Testing Day on June 27, we want to reach out to all members of the community with the message, ‘We are here for you.’” Primary medical care and HIV testing will be available at the Elizabeth Taylor Medical Center at 1701 14th St., N.W., on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginning June 14 and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning June 10. Clients can make an appointment by calling 202 939-7690.
“These expanded hours are also a pilot project to help us determine the best times to offer care,” Chiliade added.
