As of January 1, 2013, Live Oak Health Partners (LOHP) along with Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC) will begin providing healthcare services currently available to clients at the Hays County Personal Health Department clinics, 401-A Broadway Street in San Marcos and 150 Lockhart Street in Kyle.

Hays County citizens who have received health care at these locations are encouraged to continue using these services. However, all patients have the right to seek medical care from another provider. Patient records are confidential. Copies of records can be transferred to another facility, released to the individual or released to another designated person only with the patient’s permission through a signed authorization form. If the Hays County Personal Health Department does not have a signed authorization on file within 30 days of this notice, patient records will become property of LOHP. Until then, all records will remain on file with Hays County.

On January 1 LOHP will begin providing well-child, women’s health, family clinic, immunizations, and social services. Hays County will maintain responsibilities for screening clients for indigent health care eligibility, health-related emergency preparedness, tuberculosis screening and treatment programs, and support for state and federally funded immunization programs and information systems.

LOHP is a multi-specialty group of physicians and healthcare providers committed to compassionate healthcare for the communities of Hays County. Though the transfer of operations will occur on January 1, 2013, clinic locations and the commitment to quality care will stay the same. Hays County greatly values our relationship with the community and staff members are available to answer questions at 401-A Broadway Street in San Marcos or by phone at 512.393.5520.
