CHRISTUS Report

CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital-Sulphur Springs is excited about all of the ways we continue to expand our services to the local community. We want to make sure you know everything we offer — right here, close to home!

If you have not already had your family vaccinated against the flu this year, we strongly encourage you to do so. Other precautions that help reduce the spread of flu germs: wash your hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer frequently. Cover your coughs and sneezes; into your elbow is best. If you have the flu, stay home from work or school. For additional precautions, ask your healthcare provider.

In addition, our Gastroenterology office is moving! This Friday, Dr. Mena Milad, Chimdi Mfebe, FNP, and their staff will be relocating to 107 Medical Circle, Sulphur Springs, Texas 75482. To reach their office, please call 903.885.1770.
