PALESTINE — Christus Health announced on Monday an expansion to Palestine with the planned development of a new Christus emergency hospital campus that includes a freestanding emergency department and inpatient beds.

The facility will be located on the current Magnolia Medical Plaza campus at 3201 Texas 256 Loop in Palestine.

The Magnolia Medical Plaza joined Christus in 2017 and has a long-standing presence and exceptional reputation for providing services in primary care. Currently, there are six physicians, four nurse practitioners and four physician assistants practicing primary care in Palestine.

Along with full-time orthopedic surgery and pain management, the clinic also offers specialty services including cardiology, pulmonary, gastroenterology, and wound care through visiting Christus Trinity Clinic.

“Our clinic has been serving Palestine and the surrounding communities for more than 30 years and the addition of emergency medicine will only enhance our ability to care for patients today and for many more years to come,” said Dr. Alec Law, lead physician of primary care.

The Palestine project includes a nearly 20,000 square-foot facility that will house a state-of-the art emergency department with imaging and laboratory services. The new emergency room will accept ambulance arrivals.
