Congratulations to Main Street Family Urgent Care for being chosen as the 2017 Business of the Year by the Moody Area Chamber of Commerce last week at their December event. MainStreet Family Urgent Care is a new medical facility on Moody Parkway offering quality health care without an appointment.

Christmas is a time to celebrate traditions. It’s a time to give gifts to those who are special in our lives. Most of all, it’s a time to celebrate the birth of a risen Savior, the ultimate gift. It’s the reason for the season.
