Killeen is located in Central Texas — a rapidly growing region where psychiatric provider supply consistently lags demand. Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) — one of the largest US Army bases.

For Killeen residents seeking medication management care, the combination of a growing population and limited local psychiatric provider supply means that wait times at traditional practices can stretch weeks or months.
