Mesquite Employee Health Center

In checking my Google Reader this morning, I found a very good article on the Dallas Morning News website, DallasNews.com. "Mesquite's Employee Health Center is a win-win clinic operation" gives some background in the formulating ideas of the clinic, as well as updated information on its progress and usage statistics.

I was surprised to read it opened in 2007. I use the clinic pharmacy regularly. It's so convenient and familiar that it seems like it's been there a lot longer than two years.

Prior to the opening of MEHC, Mesquite ISD employees had to order maintenance medications through mail order. That was not the most efficient method to get prescriptions. Calling in to MEHC is much easier, and the phone is generally answered by someone who knows me and my family as patients. That person is generally acquainted with our medication needs by association of names.


I am very glad the city and school district set up the Employee Health Center. It has made my life easier. I can easily see an expansion of the facility in the future.
