In Memory of Dr. Rhonda D. Hopkins

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Dr. Rhonda D. Hopkins after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer.

Dr. Hopkins was a valued colleague and a dedicated physician who cared deeply for her patients. Her warmth, resilience, and compassion left a meaningful impact on those who knew her and on the lives she touched throughout her years of service.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who mourn her loss. Her legacy will be remembered with gratitude and respect.

With deepest sympathy,
Snyder-Hopkins Family Medicine Center

We woke up to the world being one way, and now the sun will set on a world that is completely different. Today, we lost a great warrior. Dr. Rhonda Delane Hopkins rode her horse into the sunset, in perfect Western form, and leapt over Heaven’s gate, even though Saint Peter was more than ready to open it for her. She rode her horse, and jumped over the gate because she could, and perhaps someone, somewhere had told her she couldn’t. That is the Rhonda we all knew and loved. Rest in Peace.

Good morning! Due to inclement weather the staff and I are staying home to play in the snow. Haha! It seems the duration and likelihood of significant precipitation make travel potentially dangerous for me, my staff and our patients. We will close today. Depending on the accumulation and road conditions, I’ll decide about tomorrow later today. We will be notifying patients and doing our best to address what things we can from home.

My staff and I wish you a very Merry Christmas! This past year has certainly been a challenge with the transition and we all appreciate your patience and support.

Christmas is a time for giving and closeness and love with family and friends. Christmas can be a time of sadness and isolation for some. I hope you all have a chance to spread some Christmas spirit even if it’s to a stranger. If you’re lucky enough to have people to love, let them know what they mean to you.

If you’re alone, know you are enough, you are important and you can find happiness inside yourself. If you feel hopeless or sad and are thinking of hurting yourself or someone else, please reach out to someone. And if you don’t have anyone you feel safe to reach out to, please call or text 988 for help.

We are closed today and tomorrow for the holiday. We will reopen on Thursday December 26 with regular hours. There is a provider on call for emergency calls only. Of course for life threatening or severe issues, please go directly to the nearest emergency room. I hope Santa is good to all of you!

Hoping you have the best holiday possible! We are closed Thursday and Friday. We will reopen on Monday.

Wishing you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Our office is closed today and tomorrow so that we can spend time with our family and friends. We will reopen with regular hours on Monday, December 2nd with regular hours. For many people the holidays are the best time of the year. For some, it is the loneliest. Take a moment to be kind to someone this holiday. Travel safely, eat well, be grateful.

So PROUD to win Best in McKinney for the sixth year in a row. This year was a very special win following the difficult transition of the last year. Winning in both categories was a wonderful surprise and achievement for the whole team. Thank you to all our patients for taking the time to vote for us.

Today is World Mental Health Day and I think it’s a good time to remember that mental health is just HEALTH. You can’t be truly healthy without taking care of your mental health. Everyone should plan time into their day for taking care of themselves. Start by checking in with yourself on how you’re feeling. Spend some time doing a mindfulness activity. Multiple studies have shown that mindfulness lowers blood pressure, improves anxiety and depression, boosts the immune system, reduces pain and increases happiness in general. You don’t have to take much time out of your day to see the benefits. I provided a link for some simple ones in the comments.

If you are struggling and need help with your mental health, please see your primary care doctor about options for treatment. Call a friend or family member. Help is available. You are not alone. If you or someone you know is feeling like hurting yourself or someone else, please seek help. Call or text 988 for the Su***de and Crisis Hotline. There are counselors available 24 hours a day.
