UTMB to open new Pediatric and Adult Primary Care Clinic in Alvin Monday
Friendswood Journal, Sept. 21, 2014
UTMB has provided pediatric primary care in Alvin since 1995, with Dr. Syed Kazmi, the city’s medical officer, serving as director. Now, 19 years after opening its doors to the city’s children, the UTMB Alvin Clinic is expanding its services, hours and footprint and moving into a new 10,000-square-foot building where adults as well as children will be able to go for primary care medical services. The UTMB Pediatric and Adult Primary Care Clinic, a new freestanding facility located at 2020 E. Highway 6, will have 24 exam rooms, expanded X-ray services, a full blood-draw station and more staff members. The current nine-room clinic at 218 E. House St. has two doctors, two nurse practitioners and 11 other staff. When the new clinic opens Sept. 22, five new staff members will be on board — a doctor, a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, a medical assistant and a patient service specialist.
