KINGSVILLE, Texas — On Tuesday, October 7, the doors of the Coastal Bend Wellness Foundation's Sister Elizabeth Clinic in Kingsville were closed. Letters were sent to local residents notifying them of the closure. The clinic had opened in 2022 to serve the community.

“No two-week notice, no three-week notice, just shut down, ” said a lifelong Kingsville neighbor, who preferred to stay anonymous.

The resident said having the clinic nearby was a blessing, and now that it’s closed, his access to local medical care is limited.

"It does hurt, and just being somebody that is… I’m low income, so… it is just very difficult,” he said.

According to the letter, patients who had appointments after Tuesday will be contacted to reschedule their visit at their Corpus Christi clinic or via telehealth.
