Cuero Regional Hospital CEO Lynn Falcone is actively working to recruit medical staff to meet the healthcare needs of residents in DeWitt County. Unfortunately, the hospital is currently short-staffed, making scheduling challenging. Clinics and doctors' offices are experiencing a significant increase in patients with stomach flu, as well as those suffering from cold symptoms like sniffling, runny noses, and sore throats.
At the January 23 board meeting, Falcone reported on the medical provider recruitment status.
“I have three (providers) coming over spring break, two that would be interested in starting in August and one for next year. I added two new nurse practitioners,” Falcone said.
