In a move designed to accommodate the health system’s growing patient family and offer easy access to care, a new CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System facility opened its doors Dec. 13. The new CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Orthopedic Specialty Center Mid County brings partners Beaumont Bone and Joint Institute and CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic, including several of the region’s highly trained orthopedic specialists (John Iceton, MD, Stephen Hall, DO, and Richard G. Bowling, DPM) and primary care physicians and providers (Kimberly Pitts, DO and Deborah Vanover, NP), under one roof.

Over the years, the communities of Port Arthur, Groves, Port Neches, Nederland and surrounding neighbors have increasingly turned to CHRISTUS’ Orthopedic Specialty Center and Beaumont Bone and Joint Institute for the advanced orthopedic care they need. As the health system’s patient family has grown over the years, so has the need for new space. As a result, orthopedic surgeons John Iceton, MD, and Stephen Hall, DO, and podiatrist Richard G. Bowling, DPM, will move from their two current office locations to one spacious new suite along Highway 365 in Port Arthur.

“We are excited about this new location that will provide more convenience for the comfort our patients. This move means they will not have to drive miles away to get high-quality care for a full range of orthopedic conditions and injuries,” said Keith Hill, MD, President of Beaumont Bone and Joint Institute.

In addition, Kimberly Pitts, DO, and Nurse Practitioner, Deborah Vanover of CHRISTUS Family Medicine – Port Neches will move from their current office to the new Mid County location. Dr. Pitts will continue her years of service to the area as a family medicine physician and concussion specialist.

“Her expertise and contributions to the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Sports Medicine Program help keep our local student-athletes safe and healthy,” reports the health system.

CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System continues to expand its services and access for its patients throughout the area’s nine-county region. According to CHRISTUS, “The mission to extend the health ministry of Jesus Christ continues to propel the organization forward, especially in light of challenges such as the worldwide pandemic.”

“It’s an honor to serve our neighbors in the Mid County community, and we do so in a spirit of love and compassion alongside many of the area’s most experienced and dedicated physicians,” said Paul Trevino, President and CEO, CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System. “Strong partnerships like this allow us to look forward to another 90 years of service ahead.”
