"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. 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. Hendrick Medical Center is one of seven healthcare institutions affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. People of all ages and races, men and women receive precision care at Hendrick every day, regardless of the way they are able to pay. There are numerous ways Hendrick is involved in the community, not just from a healthcare perspective, but from the various services Hendrick provides locally. Our staff and employees know what it means to give back, and help raise funds and give of their time to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, The United Way, Meals on Wheels, and many other organizations."
