Wes and Stacy Davis moved back to Wes’ hometown of Cabool in 2003, and they are raising their three boys on the family farm.
Michael, age 10; Cody, age 6; and Justin, age 5, keep mom and dad busy with school and sports, and when healthcare needs arise, they rely on longtime local doctor, Steve Hawkins, MD and TCMH.
“As a mom, it is a blessing to have a hospital so close to our home,” Stacy said.With their physician’s recommendation, they have used TCMH for care for their family.
“It’s a rough situation to be in when your child is sick,” Wes explained, adding, “But we were overwhelmed by the friendliness and support we received at TCMH.”
The Davis family’s personal experience began with a friendly admissions clerk and comforting emergency room staff. A dietary aide made sure they had foods their son would eat.Dr. Hawkins drove to Houston on his lunch break to personally discharge his young patient.“This isn’t the type of treatment you receive in larger city hospitals,” Wes said.
“The nice thing about a small community and a local hospital is the way everyone really looks after your well being,” Stacy said.
