I called the number on the letter and was told today they were accepting patients by demographic areas, not the order of registering. We have put off for 8 months getting established with new doctors here because we were waiting for this and now we find out we won't be in the initial group. There are going to be seven centers built..theoretically it could be seven years before they are built and up and going. They could not commit as to which center would be built next but I was told that one will be close to Brownwood and one will be by the Sumter Cty. Offices/Library on 466A. Neither of those will be any closer to us than this one.....I called Amy today, left a message and never heard back. I am very disappointed and really don't know what to do next.
We are in the same boat except we've put off getting established for 7 months. Very disappointing how this is being handled and certainly doesn't speak well for the system that was supposed to be so patient friendly.
