NEW DOCTOR TAKES
AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
GRMC welcomes our newest board-certified Family Practice Physician,
Elena McAtee, MD. She grew up in the South Texas town of Kingsville.
Dr. McAtee earned her bachelor’s degree from Guilford College in
North Carolina and her medical degree from the University of Texas
Medical Branch in Galveston. She completed her residency at the
University of Arizona.
She has a special interest in integrative, preventive and holistic
medicine. While at the University of Arizona, she earned a certificate of
Integrative Medicine in Residency and plans to continue to embrace this
in her clinical practice.
Comprehensive family care
Dr. McAtee’s goal is to empower her patients to take control of their own
health. She excels in providing comprehensive family care, including
pediatric, adult, gynecologic and geriatric care.
She and her husband are new to Seguin. They look forward to
becoming active members of the community while growing their family
and enjoying all that this part of Texas has to offer. In her spare time, she
enjoys ceramics, yoga, traveling, kayaking, camping and spending time
with her family.
Dr. McAtee has joined Family Practice Physician Frank Wright, MD, in
the GRMC Medical Terrace Palm Building, located at 411 S. King St.
New arrivals,
ever growing
This edition of
Health Currents
arrives
at the beginning of spring, with the
annual blessing of Texas wildflowers
and fresh beginnings. Similarly, GRMC
is enjoying new arrivals and continued
growth this season.
Several of these changes are
detailed in this newsletter, such as the
arrival of Elena McAtee, MD, and the
ongoing excellent care provided by
other family practitioners in Seguin.
Other signs of growth evident on
our campus include the construction
work on the third floor of our Patient
Tower, where we will be moving our
Surgical Unit and Dialysis Center by
August of this year.
The new Medical Office Buildings
adjacent to our campus on King Street
are also busy with activity—spine and
pain management experts have joined
the existing neurology, rheumatology,
endocrinology and family practice
physicians who see patients here.
A positive difference
This newsletter gives specifics about
GRMC’s recent Leapfrog recognition
for high-quality care.
We appreciate knowing that the
comparative statistics and outcomes of
care at GRMC verify the professional,
evidence-based care provided here.
But we are especially gratified with
each personal thank-you note received,
noting how the staff at our hospital
truly make a positive difference in the
lives of our patients and their families.
Wishing you and your family good
health this season,
Robert G. Haynes
Chief Executive Officer
