Job Description:
Job Description MD/DO - Psychiatrist Small town charm, Railroad
history, outdoor paradise The Community - Temple and Killeen, TX
Temple and Killeen are located in Central Texas. The area continues
to see unprecedented growth in its business sector. This growth has
caused a ripple effect in the quantity and quality of
entertainment, dining and shopping venues available in and around
Temple. During the past year, Temple has experienced this ripple
effect in many areas. The Premiere Cinema 12 expanded its 12-screen
theater to 16 screens, the Czech Heritage Museum relocated from
inside the SPJST insurance Co. into it's current building, a larger
building on the corner of French and 3rd Street; and the Temple
Civic Theatre combined efforts with Temple College so that
performances could be seen in the larger Temple College Performing
Arts Center. These are just a few examples of the recent growth
that is sure to continue. Killeen is directly adjacent to the main
cantonment of Fort Hood, and as such its economy heavily depends on
the post and the soldiers (and their families) stationed there.

General John Bell Hood. It is located halfway between Austin and

announced the location in January 1942, and the initial completion
was set for that August. As originally constructed, Fort Hood had

Hood had a total population of 53,416 as of the 2010 U.S. Census.
