A local clinic stepped in to provide healthcare services to residents 17 days after Crockett, Texas-based Timberlands Hospital shuttered late last month, according to KTRE-9 News.
The Crockett (Texas) Clinic, an affiliate of Timberlands Hospital, was forced to cease operations after the hospital and its management company Little River Healthcare severed ties June 30.
However, Crockett Clinic reopened its doors July 17. Christopher Haeckler, MD, a physician at Crockett Clinic, said the clinic was able to successfully "get all of [its] accounts back [open] in [its] name, so [it] could operate," according to the report.
Clinic officials said they are obtaining their own funds and donations to keep the clinic running.
