Hereford Regional Medical Center has a
heritage which is centered on the idea of neighbors
taking care of neighbors. This tradition delivers
the highest level of care with the personal attention
patients and families deserve. This tradition also
underscores the fact that the “Best Medicine is Close to
Home”.
Our
History
Hereford Regional Medical Center (formerly
– Deaf Smith General Hospital) opened it’s doors for the
first time in 1921, when the old Carl home on West
Second Street was converted into a 21 bed public
hospital. But, concerned citizens continued to
campaign for a more suitable building. The
residents of Deaf Smith County approved a bond issue and
a two-story building was constructed on the present
hospital site on East Third Street, the facility opened
it’s doors in 1924.
Several additions and renovations have
been made to the facility, including a new wing in 1948
to provide an X-Ray room and more patient rooms in
1969. More renovations and additions came in 1973
when an intensive care unit and modern OB department
were added. Currently, HRMC is licensed as a
40-bed acute care medical center, offering a unique
combination of technology, advanced facilities,
innovative programs, provided by a highly qualified and
dedicated team of professionals. |
