The Family Healthcare Center

09/06/2022

Dear Patients,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement, effective October 15th of 2022. I apologize that it is not with more notice to you. Everything just sort of fell into place.

I have been practicing Family Medicine in Longview for 43 years. I feel it has been my destiny and it has been an honor to serve you. Thank you for your confidence and trust you have placed in me through different practice opportunities.

The Family Healthcare Center has been acquired by Texas Primary Care Clinic. Patricia Griffin, FNP- Certified and Jenny Narula, MD- Board Certified in Family Medicine, will be the providers. I hope you give them a chance.

Of course, your records are and will be available to you or to release to the physician/clinic of your choice with your written permission. Your records will continue to be on file in my former office.

I wish you continued health and happiness in the future.

Warm regards,

Larry Huffman, MD
