When someone relocates they often seek information about physicians, specialists, hospitals and other types of health care, such as extended care. Is there a resource in Smith Village for health care information?
Smith Village, Oklahoma has a hospital. Smith Village has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in Smith Village, Oklahoma cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog Smith Village, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a Smith Village, Oklahoma resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does Smith Village have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into Smith Village that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either “new†or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
