It seems that if privately run urgent care centers are not willing to stay open until 10pm or midnight, TVRHospital ought to have its urgent care longer and open another one in the southern half of TV. With previous plans for a full hospital in Brownwood, for which C.O.N.was approved (I heard) and then plans were tabled, it seems so obvious that the hospital needs to build at least an urgent care or maybe a 24-hour freestanding full E.R. as other cities have around the country.
Even with a good supply of urgent cares open, a lot of seniors are so extremely sick and complicated that urgent care is not even the right place to be because of limitations on complexity of care they can handle. That is probably a big part of the clogged traffic in and out of TVRH E.R.
