ER of Lufkin: A New Era in Emergency Care

When driving down Highway 59 in Texas, you might have noticed a fresh sign at 501 N Brentwood Drive. What was once known as Total Point Emergency Center has been transformed into the ER of Lufkin. This change, while significant in branding, reflects a commitment to continuity and trusted care rather than a shift in service quality.

Inside the facility, the familiar faces of doctors, nurses, and the registration staff welcome patients as they always have. This sense of continuity is paramount in healthcare, especially during emergencies when trust is vital. Facility Manager, Sabrina Lillard, an experienced registered nurse, emphasizes, "Our team lives here in the community, so we are committed to our neighbors' health."
