Hendrick Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital located in Abilene, Texas, with more than 500 licensed beds. Hendrick Medical Center provides healthcare to a 22-county area and is the area’s main trauma center. One of seven healthcare institutions affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, Hendrick Health System employs more than 2,500 people.
For more than 80 years, the Hendrick name has been the first name in healthcare in Abilene, Texas, and the Texas Midwest. Hendrick was the first hospital to permanently serve the Texas Midwest when its doors opened in 1924. Through the years it has been the first in the area to offer specialized services, creating departments to fill needs such as physical medicine, nuclear medicine, spiritual care and much more.
Hendrick has been the first to offer aggressive, innovative treatments and preventive healthcare measures ranging from services such as cancer screenings and pre-natal education courses to electro-physiology procedures and pediatric intensive care. Providing the strength of a complete system of health services available in their own backyards, most of the citizens of Abilene and the 22 counties that surround it look to Hendrick as their first choice for healthcare. In fact, one in seven area residents prefer Hendrick for their healthcare needs.
Hendrick is an institution where people can feel a strong sense of belonging – an advanced medical provider the people of the Texas Midwest can call their own. And people of all ages and races, men and women receive precision care at Hendrick every day, regardless of their ability to pay.
The Hendrick Mission: In short, our mission is to provide high quality health services emphasizing Excellence and Christian Service in all that we do.
