ATTENTION: CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS:
The IPS Center has been monitoring the COVID-19 virus and the potential impact on our clinic and clients. Divine Mercy University, the university in which the IPS Center functions, has decided to transition to online instruction. Based on this decision, as well as recent local, state, federal and regulatory agency recommendations, we are implementing the following temporary procedures to reduce the risk of transmission of the disease in our Center and keep our clients, clinicians, and staff members safe:
Beginning on Monday March 16th and extending through June 2020, the IPS Center will be closed for all appointments. Please refer to the IPS Center website and/or our voicemail greeting for updates regarding the clinic status.
If you are experiencing a clinical emergency, please dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
Due to the closure, the IPS Center is not accepting new clients. If you are interested in initiating clinical services, we strongly recommend that you reach out to other providers that may be able to see you while the Center is closed. Below is a list of a few helpful resources:
