Access to specialty care for sports medicine and orthopedic services can be limited outside of major cities, such as Austin, while demand rapidly grows, said Dr. Eric Chapman, orthopedic surgeon.

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Buda expanded its offerings to include sports orthopedics for pediatric, adolescent and adult patients by hiring Chapman.

The overview: The need for sports orthopedics is major in areas where specialists are not present, Chapman said. While access to care exists in South Austin and Kyle, the distance patients needed to travel from Buda was too great for injuries that needed to be quickly addressed.

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Buda has the capabilities to conduct a full workup for patients who come in with an injury, including X-rays, MRIs and advanced imaging as needed, Chapman said.

Meet the doctor: Chapman has been in Buda since March. The lack of a sports medicine doctor specializing in pediatrics and adolescent athletes in the area motivated Chapman's decision to work in the city.

Hays County is proposing the development of an approximately $65 million administrative facility on the city of Kyle’s east side. The Eastside Campus would be a three-story building housing 175 total staff members and a variety of services.

On June 25, Hays County will host an open house to share information on the development and gather feedback from community members. The come-and-go event will take place at 5:30 p.m. at Gemstone Palace, 1101 Bunton Creek Road, Kyle.

The gist: On Jan. 20, the Hays County Commissioners Court authorized the issuance of $100 million in certificates of obligation to fund office and administrative buildings, including the Eastside Campus, according to previous Community Impact reporting.

The open house will provide an opportunity for residents and community members to interact with County staff and ask questions about the services planning to be offered at the facility.

The Eastside Campus will house various offices and services, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
