THE HEAT IS ON!


As the weather heats up, so do utility costs. For many lower income families paying the electric bill means doing without other needs- sometimes even food or medical care. These are our neighbors, hard working families that are just ‘making it’ financially–until some extra expense comes along.


We've had an exceptionally warm spring and summer this year, straining the resources of our local charities

Did you know Granbury has an Emergency Assistance Network that includes 24 local churches, the United Way of Hood County, Hood County Children’s Charities, and several other small social service providers?

Mission Granbury one of the initiators of this crucial need in our area has been overwhelmed with requests for food (canned goods & other staples). Financial help for rent, utilities, prescriptions, food, car gas, and other basic needs for under privileged families.

Fall Creek Medical Plaza



Our town is growing!

With new families coming here,
there
is a need for more and larger health care facilities.

We welcome the following addition from
Lake Granbury Medical Center.


Fall Creek Medical Plaza (FCMP), a new primary
care facility, should be completed by late summer.
Located at 601 Fall Creek Highway, about one
mile off Highway 377, the facility will provide the
entire family with quality care on the Fort Worth side of
Granbury.
Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC) will provide an
array of in-house outpatient diagnostic services, including
electrocardiograms, bone densitometry testing, lab draws,
and other services.

Ample parking, extended hours
The one-story, 16,000-square-foot building will offer easy
access, ample parking, and extended hours. The facility
can support a total of six primary care physicians and
has a hospitality/concierge style waiting room.

Enhancing the patient experience
Patient examination rooms, procedure
rooms, and medical staff offices are
designed with a pod concept. This will lead
to reduced wait times while maximizing
physician-patient interactions.

Lake Granbury Primary Care physicians Christopher
Ellis, M.D., Internal Medicine; James Kelleher, M.D.,
Family Medicine; Angela Self, M.D., Internal Medicine;
and Lenito John Sinay, M.D., Internal Medicine, will
relocate their practice to FCMP. In the next year, two
more primary care physicians will be recruited to occupy
the remaining pod.

Education and wellness seminars
The building will have a community conference room
that will enhance LGMC’s ability to provide educational
and wellness seminars. LGMC also plans to expand
both Healthy Woman and Senior Circle programming to
FCMP. With a combined membership of nearly 3,000,
these programs will increase member access to
screening events, exercise classes, physician activities,
and social events.

Tour the facility!
