The emergency center is designed to treat a wide range of serious illnesses and injuries, including chest pain, stroke symptoms, traumatic injuries and other time-sensitive medical emergencies requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. The adjacent walk-in primary care clinic continues to serve patients with non-emergency medical needs, creating a seamless care experience under one roof. “By bringing advanced emergency services together with an established walk-in primary care clinic, we’re making it easier for patients to receive the right care at the right time while improving access across our community.” The opening of CHRISTUS Emergency Center West Loop continues CHRISTUS Health’s significant investment in Northeast Texas, expanding access to high-quality care and ensuring patients have timely access to emergency services when every moment counts.
