The Lake Prairie Methodist Family Health Center will open Tuesday, June 10 in the Lake Prairie Towne Crossing shopping center at State Highway 360 and Camp Wisdom Road. The new 5,500 square foot facility is the sixth Methodist Family Health Center, and will offer a broad range of services including family physicals, treatment for colds, childhood illnesses, cuts, sprains, sports injuries, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic illnesses. Gerald George, DO, a family practice physician with MedHealth and on the medical staff at Methodist Health System, will serve as the primary physician at the facility. A second physician will join the practice this summer.
“Methodist is delighted for MedHealth’s expansion of its health care presence to Lake Prairie and the surrounding communities,” said Laura Irvine, President of Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. “This beautiful new facility will be home to outstanding physicians and will help Methodist in its continuing mission to bring quality health care even closer to the communities we serve.”
Lake Prairie Methodist Family Health Center will become the first facility in the Methodist Family Health Center system to use electronic medical records.
“Our newest family health center provides the latest electronic medical record technology to provide immediate access to patient’s medical records,” said Dr. Gerald George, “The population in South Grand Prairie is continuing to grow and we are expanding to meet their increasing need for family health care.”
