When COVID-19 vaccines first became available, Dr. Barbara Chapman said there was a sense of hope in the medical community after being on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic for months.
That hope, according to Dr. Chapman, has recently turned to a familiar overwhelming feeling with a recent spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations following months of clinics. Chapman is a family nurse practitioner serving McKinney and east Texas. Their clinic in McKinney is able to refer patients with symptoms to hospitals, if needed.
“We were hopeful we’d gotten on top of this, and there was an end in sight. So, to see this resurgence is disheartening,” Chapman said Tuesday. “The mental health care component of this is really affecting nurses all over the country, especially my colleagues here in the Dallas area.”

FORT WORTH, Texas - Pediatric hospitals in North Texas are once again seeing a concerning rise in COVID-19 cases.

Cook Children s has 13 hospitalized children with COVID right now, while Children s Health has 16 between its Dallas and Plano locations.
