Dr. Sandra Hazelip

Dr. Sandy, as many of her patients call her, now limits her practice to patients who are residents in long term care facilities and hospice care. She enjoys the challenges of geriatric patients and feels the Lord has called her to work with the very frail and fragile patients who are in the “November and December” of their lives. 

She has served in the past as president of the Texas Geriatric Society.   She currently serves as the Medical Director for Windcrest Health and Rehab and she is one of the physicians for Hospice of the Big Country. But Dr. Sandy wears other hats besides her “doctor” hat.  She is a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She is also a widow.  The love of her life, her husband, Don Hazelip, died 20 years ago. 

She is also a published author and lecturer and has spoken in the United States, China, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Russia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Zambia on women’s health issues. She also has participated in and taught Bible lessons for Ladies’ Retreats in those countries. One of her greatest joys has been the experience of taking her grandchildren on short term mission trips during the past 18 years to Zambia, Russia, China, Cambodia, and Romania.  But let me give you fair warning, do not ask her about her four “youngest” grandchildren, who are all adopted from China, unless you have a lot of time to hear all about “how cute, smart, and wonderful they are.”
