Hendrick Health

About Hendrick Health System

Hendrick Health was founded in 1924 as a not-for-profit healthcare institution in response to a community need for quality healthcare. Throughout the decades, Hendrick has grown with the community, offering a wide range of comprehensive healthcare services to the Texas Midwest. In 2020, Hendrick Medical Center became Hendrick Health and expanded to a three-hospital system - Hendrick Medical Center and Hendrick Medical Center South in Abilene; and Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood in Brownwood. You will find most medical and surgical specialists on staff to assist in the care of your patients.

Hendrick has received the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award 20 years in a row, the 2021 Modern Healthcare Best Places to Work for the third year, the 2020 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired, Level 8 Acute recognition, as well as its ongoing Pathway to Excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

The mission created more than 101 years ago continues today, and it will remain so as Hendrick Health moves into the future "striving to deliver high quality healthcare emphasizing excellence and compassion consistent with the healing ministry of Jesus Christ." We are a nonprofit system so all of our profits are invested back into the system for purchasing equipment or expanding our facilities. We work hard each year to continue to cultivate a strong and cohesive working environment to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.
