Lake Granbury Medical Center


Growing, changing, and improving—these are words that best describe Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC) today as we build for the future. LGMC’s $15 million expansion/renovation projects are progressing well. Months of diligent strategic planning have prepared us for breaking ground on a new surgical services wing, adding a third floor for inpatient services, and upgrading our outward appearance.

About the renovation

The $15 million project will include:
• third-floor expansion, adding 24 private patient rooms to double the current inpatient capacity
• additional operating room with expanded surgical support areas
• redesigned front parking lot, including resurfacing, drainage, and landscaping
• new front entrance with covered visitor drop-off area

Meeting community needs

The medical center has experienced strong growth over the last five years, and in 2007 served significantly more patients from Granbury and surrounding communities. Last year, LGMC cared for nearly 18,500 patients in the emergency department. The hospital also delivered a record 555 newborns in its women’s services department.

This expansion and renovation project demonstrates LGMC’s long-term commitment to providing quality, compassionate care for the community. The substantial changes about to be undertaken at Lake Granbury Medical Center will offer the medical staff and patients modern, comfortable facilities as well as the technology people expect.

"Located in the center of the county, we’re proud to offer a welcome alternative to driving far away for quality medical services. We believe the people of the Lake Granbury community are our area’s greatest resource, and your health and recovery are our primary concern. If you don’t find out what you want to know about our hospital on our web site, please feel free to call us. I hope you will consider us whenever you need emergency services and highly-skilled, compassionate care."-David K.Orcutt, Chief Executive Officer of LGMC

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.

THEY NEED YOUR HELP—

Please click on their website http://www.missiongranbury.com/

Or call them at 817 579-6866 to check out the services they provide and find out how you can help.

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!
