Jason Proctor, Chief Operating Officer, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospitals in Tyler, said, &#8220;The people of Tyler, Whitehouse, Bullard and this whole region need access to a true Emergency Department in this area.&#8221; And with the opening of this hospital, they have it.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anderson said &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This facility represents an innovative, forward-thinking concept for health care, not just locally, but on a national scale.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d   He said the clinical staff are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cross trained\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in emergency medicine to deliver care throughout the facility. &#8220;That means everyone can draw blood or run labs or fill other roles throughout the facility. The bottom line is that in a medical emergency, when minutes or even seconds matter most, we can examine and treat patients as efficiently and effectively as possible.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>According to a news release from the hospital, &#8220;CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital &#8211; South Tyler is a licensed acute care general hospital.
