History
Established in 2019.
The once "small communities" of highway 75 are now growing faster than resources can provide. Many healthcare clinics are at their capacity and are no longer receiving new patients. This redirects patients to seek healthcare services in other towns and cities, where the number of primary care providers are more abundant.
Most "patients" with in the smaller communities such as Van Alstyne, utilize medical and primary care services in the larger cities north and south of them. With Sherman being 17 miles north of Van Alstyne and McKinney being 17 miles south of Van Alstyne, the necessity for starting and sustaining a primary care practice in the Van Alstyne community is at a premium.
