Tyler, Texas-based Christus Trinity Mother Frances Health System acquired Magnolia Health Systems–Physicians of East Texas July 1.
Under the agreement, MHS–Physicians of East Texas' locations in Palestine, Elkhart, Grapeland, Buffalo and Fairfield will be rebranded Christus Trinity Clinic locations. The agreement will also add more than 24 physicians with specialties in cardiology, endoscopy and family practice, among others, to the Christus Trinity Clinic medical staff.
Officials said patients will see no changes in their care beyond ongoing updates to signage and branding and additional service offerings.
"By aligning with Magnolia Health Systems–Physicians of East Texas, Christus Trinity Clinic is demonstrating our continual commitment to provide northeast Texas with the very highest levels of care," said Steven Keuer, MD, president of Christus Trinity Clinic and CMO of Christus Trinity Mother Frances Health System.
