In keeping with its mission of providing for the physical, mental and spiritual health of all Texoma residents, the Board of Directors at Texoma HealthCare System announces that it has decided to retain the TMC Behavioral Health Center in Sherman rather than consider divestiture of the facility and program to a private psychiatric company.
According to THCS President and CEO, W. Mackey Watkins, M.D., "Our BHC is the only facility for mental health services in our regional service area. It provides a critical access for not only Grayson County patients, but also for patients from surrounding counties. Our mission as a not-for-profit institution offers a more conducive environment for many patient groups to access care such as Medicaid and MHMR patients. I have never seen a more dedicated staff than those employees we have at the BHC.
They are a classic example of our motto " a caring heart close at hand"."
The TMC Behavioral Health Center is a 60-bed facility dedicated to providing mental health services and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The BHC offers two separate inpatient units for patients with psychiatric health issues. It also offers a partial hospitalization program that allows patients to receive treatment similar to an inpatient program, yet patients have the advantage of returning to their homes and families during evenings and weekends.
The TMC Behavioral Health Center is located at 2601 Cornerstone Drive in Sherman, Texas. For information 24 hours a day, call (903) 416-3000.
