TMF Facility Not Affected by Meningitis Concerns

TYLER — Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics has issued a message about media reports regarding steroid injections. According to a TMF statement, there have been several cases of meningitis associated with epidural steroid injections. Thus far, the focus has been narrowed to compounded steroids manufactured by the New England Compounding Center. According to the TMF statement, this does not affect patients of The Trinity Clinic Center for Comprehensive Pain Medicine. TMF officials say they do not use compounded steroids for their epidural steroid injections, and that all of their steroids come directly from the manufacturer.
