Personal Care For The Whole Person

January 8th, 2010

Perhaps the fastest growing industry in Tyler is the medical industry. A drive through town on any given day seems to reveal a new medical center of one kind or another. East Texans have a plethora of choices for all stages of life and health care. Since 2003 they have been choosing Legacy hospice to care for themselves and their loved ones as they approach the close of their lives. Legacy is committed to providing answers and options to patients and families approaching this final stage of life.

Legacy is a small but growing, family run hospice that provides for both the physical and emotional needs which accompany the dying process. There are several varying degrees of care which depend upon the patient’s health. The degrees run from “Routine,” or at home care, to “Inpatient” around the clock care. Every form of counseling from dietary to spiritual is available. Doctors and nurses provide many different forms of therapy for the patient. The Hospice also couples with local nursing homes to help provide care to dying patients.

When it comes to emotional needs, the Chaplains offer council and support both to patients and their families. Bereavement care can be offered to a family for up to a year after the passing of a loved one. The Chaplain staff visits patients and loved ones in their homes or in the hospital, does regular check ups by phone or e-mail, and even helps with funeral and memorial services.

Legacy Hospice is fully covered by Medicaid and Medicare, as well as most other forms of insurance, and serves a large area of North East Texas.

UT Health Center

December 30th, 2009

The UT Health Center is a great place to go for health check ups. Not only is the quality care top notch and the staff very friendly but it is also very affordable. If you have struggled with paying your doctor/medical bills I would suggest going there. A doctor visit is only $65. They may charge extra if you need special treatment or extensive lab work. The pediatricians are very friendly. I saw one pediatrician and child talking and the child acted like he was his best friend. I thought most kids don’t like to see their doctor, not at the UT Health Center.

Some general doctors there are young, which probably means they are not as experienced as the older ones but may have been more educated in modern medicine. At the Ritter Center they can see a patient of any age. If you need to se an OB/GYN, a Pediatrician, or general doctor I would recommend UT Health Center. If they can not treat you, they will send you to a specialist that can. I feel like I’m in good hands when I see my doctor at the UT Health Center.

The UT Health Center is located on US Highway 271. If you are coming from Loop 323 in Tyler it will be on your left before you reach interstate 20. If you live near the UT Health Center then why drive all the way into the middle of Tyler to see a doctor when there are great doctors to see at the UT Health Center?

The UT Health Center has quality care and is very affordable. I am continuing to go there and will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
