Per the release and past reporting by Community Impact, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic ventures within the last five years include:
- Expanded cancer care services across the organization, including adding radiation therapy at North Houston Campus and recently opening cancer centers at Fort Bend and Springwoods Village campuses. The clinic also plans to open a cancer center early next year at its Bay Area Campus
- A third and fourth ambulatory surgery center at its Memorial Villages and Springwoods Village campuses, with two additional locations nearing completion at its Fort Bend and Bay Area campuses
- Enhanced care access points for patients through virtual care by increasing hours of operation, broadening access to specialty care and introducing on-demand video visits available seven days a week
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic was founded in March 1949 by Mavis P. Kelsey, who opened an office in the Texas Medical Center after training at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, per the release. The clinic has focused on evidence-based, multispecialty care since its inception.
The clinic's 75-year legacy shows the focus has always been to put the patient at the center of all they do, Chief Medical Officer Donnie Aga said in the release.
“We have built a strong foundation that has allowed us to innovate and bring programs and services that help patients stay well, prevent and manage chronic conditions, and access care at the appropriate site of care,” Aga said in a statement.
