CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs Provides the Following Medical Services:

 Day Surgery

Today, many surgical procedures which once required hospitalization are performed as “day surgeries”. The patient pre-admits the day before surgery, then return to the hospital and are discharged the same afternoon. Not only is this more economical, but it also allows the patient to recover in the comfort of their own home. Procedures commonly performed are: Cataract removal, tonsillectomy, hernia repair, breast biopsy, orthopedic, podiatry, and urological.  The Day Surgery department handles all pre-admits for inpatient surgeries, and pre-admission on OB patients.

Emergency Department

The Emergency Department at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital, a designated Level IV Trauma Center, is staffed 24 hours a day with Registered Nurses and physicians specializing in emergency care. State-of-the-art equipment, laboratory, and x-ray services enable us to provide emergency care of all levels, within our capabilities, to an average of 1700 patients per month. Patients requiring immediate specialized care are stabilized and transferred to a tertiary facility.

Babies born in the Women’s Pavilion benefit from the extended care our upgraded Level II nursery can provide.  For the uncomplicated delivery, rooming-in is offered, allowing mothers to keep infants with them in their rooms, or exercising the option of having our nurses maintain a watchful eye in the nursery while the mothers rest.  Fathers are invited to visit at any time while other family members and friends will enjoy generous visiting hours.  The comfortable, safe atmosphere of the Women’s Pavilion encourages family involvement at a time which we believe, to be the most special of times.
