CHRISTUS Health expands patient care with new multi-specialty clinic in Sulphur Springs

(SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas) – CHRISTUS Health celebrated the expansion of specialty care for patients in East Texas with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday for its newest multi-specialty clinic in Sulphur Springs.

 

The 16,500-square-foot clinic opens to patients on Monday, Dec. 8, and brings together five key specialties under one roof: gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopedics, pain management and pulmonology, enhancing convenience and care coordination for patients.

 

It is located next to CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital at 215 Airport Rd., in Sulphur Springs.

“It is a giant blessing to be able to heal people, and this clinic represents the commitment from CHRISTUS to ensure that patients, rural and urban, have the ability to seek world-class care here in Sulphur Springs,” said Dr. Christopher Meltsakos, orthopedic surgeon with CHRISTUS Health in Sulphur Springs. “This clinic allows us to provide greater access and resources to our current patients and make the new patients that come through our door feel at home.”

 

The new space supports CHRISTUS Health’s long-term strategy to meet growing patient demand, reduce wait times and strengthen access to specialty services.

 

In addition to support staff, 10 specialty physicians will see patients in the new clinic, which was designed with both capacity and comfort in mind.

 

It features 30 state-of-the-art exam rooms, multiple x-ray rooms, lab and orthopedic casting room, allowing patients to receive comprehensive care without traveling to multiple locations.

 

“We use words like growth and purpose, but those words only matter if we make an impact on real people,” said Dr. David Larsen, chair of primary care for CHRISTUS Health. “This clinic and the providers and staff that are here are making that impact and represent all the values of CHRISTUS in living our mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.”

Patients who have questions about the new location or scheduling are encouraged to call (903) 885-6688.
