Hopkins County Memorial Hospital, a 100 bed facility, has served the citizens of Hopkins County for 57 years. Memorial Hospital is dedicated to providing medical care to the 30,000 residents who live within the 800 square miles of Hopkins County and neighboring counties. Our vision is to have patients choose our hospital over other available options and to recommend Hopkins County Memorial Hospital to family and friends.
Supported by a staff of more than 40 physicians, Memorial Hospital offers a wide spectrum of services including a full service emergency department that is staffed 24 hours a day and a mobile intensive care ambulance service. The hospital’s Intensive Care Unit includes 10 beds (six critical care beds and four step-down beds). Other specialty services include inpatient and outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, pathology, obstetrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, intensive care, and respiratory therapy. Physicians in the outpatient department specialize in gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedics, pulmonology, urology and cardiology. Other outpatient services include sleep studies, nuclear stress testing, pulmonary function testing and a catheterization laboratory. Hopkins County Hospice provides care for terminally ill patients and their families. It is a hospital-based, physician-directed, nurse-coordinated home care approach to the special needs of the terminally ill patient.
Memorial Hospital’s Women’s Pavilion includes eight labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum suites, two surgery suites and a Level II nursery. The Day Surgery Department features a pre-admit clinic for day-surgery patients, operating rooms, gastroenterology procedure rooms and urology procedure rooms.
The Center for Acute Rehab Excellence (C.A.R.E.) Unit at Memorial Hospital is a 10-bed acute, inpatient rehabilitation program located on the lower floor of the Women’s Pavilion.
The C.A.R.E. Unit provides quality, comprehensive care for those recovering from brain injury, stroke, major multiple trauma, amputation, degenerative neurological disorders, orthopaedic injury, arthritis, spinal cord injury, burns and congenital deformities.
Memorial Medical Plaza is the latest addition to the hospital with the first floor of the 32,000-square-foot medical office building housing the new HealthPlex at Memorial, a modern outpatient physical rehabilitation center that offers comprehensive rehabilitation services including a therapeutic pool. The additional two floors accommodate physician offices.
Memorial Hospital was one of the first three hospitals to receive the Nurse Friendly Designation presented by the Texas Nurses Association. For a hospital to be designated Nurse Friendly, it must earn the distinction through a vigorous review process where it fully documents that 12 essential elements of the ideal practice environment - as defined by nurses and research – are present in the facility’s practices, policies and culture.
In 2006 HCMH opened the Wound Care at Memorial Center, a comprehensive center for wound care and hyperbaric medicine. Our specially trained staff at the center is dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment using the most technologically advanced wound care therapy. In addition, we will provide valuable education to the patients and caregivers to assist with problem wound management. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used as an adjunctive treatment for problematic, non-healing wounds that meet specific criteria, and it is expected that 20% of the wound care cases will meet those criteria.
The values we share at HCMH are compassion, integrity, respect, safety, stewardship and having a positive attitude. Not only do we treat each patient as a valued individual, but we also show our commitment to patient and family care, comfort, and convenience. At Hopkins County Memorial Hospital, it is truly “Friends Caring for Friends”, and that feeling comes through in the care we deliver.
