Christus Health to transform former Optimum building into medical campus in West Tyler

A new Christus Health comprehensive medical campus will be coming to West Tyler after the purchase of a former Optimum building on Nov. 10. The health system acquired the 60,000-square-foot facility at 1820 West Loop 323, where it plans to develop a one-stop destination for health care services, featuring care clinics, specialty physician offices, an emergency department and an ambulatory surgery center. “As our communities continue to grow, so does the need for health care that is convenient, accessible and centered on the needs of our patient,” said Dr. Andy Kirkpatrick, chief of urology and institute chair of surgery at Christus Trinity Clinic. “This investment reflects our long-term commitment to expanding access to care and ensuring families have the services they need closer to where they live and work.” Kirkpatrick said the new facility will be a significant investment in the future of healthcare in East Texas, expanding access to reliable, integrated care.
