HILL COUNTRY MEMORIAL: FIFTY YEARS OF COMMUNITY CARE

Ahalf-century ago, Hill Country Memorial Hospital (HCM) opened its doors after a community fundraising campaign which included door-to-door fundraising collecting coins in jars.

Fifty years later, HCM is consistently recognized as one of the top hospitals in the nation. It has ranked as a top 100 hospital by Watson Health for the past decade. And it has ranked among the nation’s best by the CareChex for medical quality and patient safety.

This top quality healthcare is yet another reason people find Fredericksburg an attractive place to live, work or retire.

Since its founding, HCM has grown in size and reputation by offering a full continuum of care and convenience of care to the Hill Country community in their hospital, immediate care clinics, physician offices, in homes with home health and hospice, and in its wellness center.

Its strength stems from deep roots in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County and now stretches across a 13-county region in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

HCM offers 25 medical specialties from general surgery, internal medicine, and gynecology, to medical oncology, orthopedics and pulmonology, and has gained a reputation for delivering remarkable care.

Hill Country Memorial is a nonprofit, non-taxsupported health organization, and it continues to draw on local support through its HCM Foundation.

With community support from events such as the HCM Hospital Galas, the foundation has funded medical technology, including the da Vinci X Robotic Surgical System, the T3 MRI, and 3-D mammography, the cardiac rehab program, Community Fitness Trail, indoor community fitness and therapy pool, Community Health Center, Women’s Pavilion, Cancer Resource Center, CT scanner, and other life-saving improvements.

This support by hometown residents is another example of the connection between the community and its hospital.

Today, HCM’s 700 employees and 200 volunteers share the vision to “Empower Others. Create Healthy.”

HCM is working to fulfill the health care needs in the community. That’s why they offer a range of services, including:
