Greetings from your local medical teams at Freestone Medical Center and Freestone Health Clinics (Fairfield and Teague).

After the initial surge of COVID-19 during the periods of March-May 2020 and as Texas began to re-open for business, Freestone Medical Center and Freestone Health Clinics returned to the operational mode of seeing patients as we had normally done pre-COVID.

COVID SURGE

With the recent surge in COVID cases in and around Freestone County, it is our goal to be responsive to you – our citizens, neighbors and communities – with access to care at convenient times and locations.  Effective Monday, July 13, 2020, the following resources will be re-opened and/or re-started:

  1. Respiratory Clinic – 764 W. Commerce – 903-389-2181
  2. Entrance will be moved to the rear (Main Street back door) of the former First Physicians Clinic
  3. Hours of Operation:  9 am to 6 pm – Monday-Thursday and Friday 9am to 1 pm; our goal is to stay open later in the evenings to alleviate backlogs in the Emergency Room.
  4. If you are experiencing non-emergency COVID symptoms (persistent cough, fever, headache, GI distress) please call 903-389-2181 for telephone triage.  This will help us get you to the most appropriate point of care.
  5. If you are in respiratory distress (difficulty breathing), then please proceed directly to the Emergency Room.
  • Emergency Room – 125 Newman Street
  • The FMC ER is open 24/7/365 for all your medical emergency care. 
  • Please recall that due to the Executive Order by Governor Abbott that no family or visitors are allowed into the ER with the patient. 

COVID SYMPTOMS

Symptoms of COVID-19 include but are not limited to fever, cough, headache and GI symptoms (similar to the flu or common cold).  If you are experiencing symptoms that do not respond to home and over the counter therapies, please call 903-389-2181 to speak with one of our medical providers about your symptoms.  We will be more than happy to help you shelter at home or arrange a time to be seen by a medical provider.

QUESTIONS

If you have any questions related to this information, please do not hesitate to call 903-389-2181 or email us at contact-admin@freestonemc.com and ask to speak with a medical provider about COVID concerns.
