CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs

POSTPONED: Community Health Day

In partnership with CHRISTUS Health, Columbia Lodge #81 has been diligently planning an event to build a more secure, productive, healthy, and hopeful community. We plan to have local experts speak on various health-related topics to educate and empower community members to take charge of their health and well-being.

Due to an increase in community COVID cases, the event is now at a later date at the HW Grays Building at Pacific Park. We apologize for any inconvenience but want everyone to stay safe!

COVID Testing at CHRISTUS Trinity Clinics | Urgent Care

Unfortunately, due to a shortage of COVID testing supplies, we cannot guarantee that rapid tests will be available. If rapid tests are not available, we will send out a COVID PCR test, which typically results in two days but could take up to seven days if the testing volume is high. We are working diligently to obtain additional supplies and appreciate your understanding; please know that we remain dedicated to providing you with the very best care possible.

Thank you for your respect and consideration!

With a spike in COVID-19 cases in Hopkins County, we appreciate anyone who has made an appointment with a provider at one of our clinic locations kindly canceling within four hours of their scheduled time. It will allow someone else to take the visiting slot who may need it. Thank you in advance for providing for your healthcare needs while extending grace to our staff.
