What A Difference A Day Makes

OK. So maybe it is more than just a day. It's more like a few days.

When we last checked in at Legacy-Lyons Clinic the painting was just about finished. A few more things have been done and we just had to show you!


The Front Desk now has the Legacy logo.


The Nurses Station has some furniture is getting organized.


And the Exam Rooms are beginning to take shape!

Our Lyons Clinic Had a Little Work Done

Normally it's bad form to ask someone about their cosmetic procedures. We at Legacy believe in being transparent, so here it goes: our Lyons Clinic recently had a facelift, and we couldn't be happier with the results. One look at the follwing pictures, and we're sure you'll agree.


Every part of the clinic got a new paint job, starting with our reception area. I believe this color is called "Fabulous Grape." No, I'm not kidding.


The above waiting room is a little warmer and more inviting.

Our exam rooms feature at least one soothing lavender wall. A quick straw poll reveals that some employees insist that this shade is more periwinkle than lavender. New equipment for these rooms is on its way!



The nurses' station looks fresh, clean, and comfortable. Make a mental note of this image, because the next time we see these counters they'll probably be full of charts and other paperwork. Our nurses are busy people!


Finally, bask in the smooth light green in our ancillary services area. The above room will be used for eye exams and consultations.


Special thanks go out to our "surgeons" from ExxonMobil. A group of volunteers came out not one, but two days to help paint and beautify our clinic, and their help is greatly appreciated.


Keep up with this space to learn more about our Lyons Avenue expansion, including our upcoming Grand Opening!

Moving Day Part One

The first half of our Southwest Clinic's renovation is just about complete, so this past weekend Legacy employees took part in one of the most dreaded rituals of the modern era: Moving Day. Check out the fruits of their labor in the pictures below.


The new check-in area is looking fine with new furniture and equipment. Previous photos of this area featured a temporary wall at the far end of the counter, but you can see that it's been removed. You know things are getting serious when walls start coming down.



Above is an example of our new exam rooms. All that's needed now is a little tidying up and that loud, crinkly butcher paper to be stretched over the exam table!

The lab has been stocked with materials, chairs, a fridge, and staff. Joseph Mayers already has his gloves on, and Marina Franco is there for moral support in case you're afraid of needles. The Blues Clues stickers highlight the most important part of this picture: the Material Safety Data Sheets. Don't sleep on the MSDS, people.


Another exam room is just about ready, one with a little more storage space and a cute baby on the wall.


We've seen this area (and its stylish accent walls) in previous posts, but it's now identifiable as our new checkout area. Not pictured: the express lane reserved for people with 12 items or less.

New signage is going up throughout the building, so you don't need me to tell you what we're looking at here.



Keep checking back for updates on our Lyons Avenue location's new facelift, and for more from our Southwest clinic. Phase II of the construction is underway, and you'll never believe where we're keeping the Material Safety Data Sheets for the other side of the building!

Construction Photos for the Naughty and Nice Alike

Phase 1 of our Southwest Clinic's construction project is marching relentless toward completion. New walls have been constructed and painted, new fixtures have been installed in restrooms, and new tile has been laid throughout clinc. We can't wait to share the enhanced new space with our loyal patients!



The above exam room is nearly complete. New furniture should be delivered in the next seven to ten days!


The new cabinets, countertops, and floor tile tie this room together.

You've seen the room pictured above before, but never with its baseboards completed or with cleaning products placed neatly on the counter. I'm really posting this one again so everyone knows where to find the Material Safety Data Sheets.




These classy looking new front doors have been installed and, according to at least one report, are working properly. I assume that means they're opening and closing like a normal door should, as well as doing their part to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. Look closely and you'll spy our intrepid photographer, resplendent in his University of Wyoming jacket. Go Cowboys!




Lastly we have our new front desk, almost ready to greet our patients with its cheery purple paint job. Based on the cans resting on the new surface, I'm guessing its installation was fueled by Cocal-Cola. You can see a hint of the new carpet that will be put down in all non-exam rooms. This carpet will reduce noise and, as a result, increase patient privacy.

Thankful for Our Legacy Redux

Most of us are probably still eating Thanksgiving leftovers, so we're calling an audible and giving thanks again this week. Today we're thankful for the amazing way everyone has handled the ongoing construction at our Southwest Clinic. Our employees have come together to make sure that our patients have the best experience possible, and that everyone continues to receive the best care we know how to give.

We remain incredibly thankful for our patients and their upbeat, can-do attitudes. Our patient numbers have remained steady, a true testament to your belief in Legacy and confidence in our services. Legacy couldn't be successful without such a diverse, welcoming, and supportive group of patients, and for that we are sincerely thankful.

So let us show our appreciation for your continued patronage with new pictures of the Southwest Construction project.


We start with a room we've all come to know and perhaps even love. It's now been painted a bright, cheerful blue, so the horror movie comparisons are clearly a thing of the past.




The rooms in the previous two pictures were featured in our October 23 post (in the second to last picture). The new paint really livens them up, and you can see what I believe fancy designers call an accent wall in the middle.


A picture of the room above can be found in our post from October 28. That purple wall didn't exist back then.


Thanks for keeping up with our progress, and for checking out the new pictures. We're thankful for all of our readers, and can't wait to show you the finished product!

Here's some of the latest pictures of the Southwest Clinic in the process of being made-over:




We're so thankful for our new flooring!

Legacy Southwest Mid-Month Construction Update

The renovation of the Legacy - Southwest Clinic is moving forward, and we have a few new pictures to keep you updated on the modernization of our southwest Houston facility. None of our services have been interrupted because of the project - so, a big thanks to everyone's hard work and commitment to carrying out Legacy's mission during these renovations.

The room above may look familiar from earlier posts. It now looks much less like a horror movie set and much more like a new-and-improved clinic. Most of the walls are complete with nothing left but the new paint. Below - final work is being done to the floor to make way for the new tile. Most of the new title has already been installed.

Below, a room dries in preparation for new floor tiles.


Stay tuned for more updates on the Legacy - Southwest Clinic makeover!
