About Us > About Hill Country Memorial Health System

Quality care, close to home

Hill Country Memorial Hospital (HCMH) serves Fredericksburg and an eight-county area in the Texas Hill Country including Gillespie, Blanco, Burnet, Mason, Llano, Kendall, Kerr and Kimble counties.

HCMH was established on the community’s desire for a modern hospital close to home. Today this non-profit, tax-exempt health care center does not receive funds from local, state or federal taxes.

Because of generous local support, however, Hill Country Memorial Hospital is one of the nation’s outstanding rural hospitals with exceptional state-of-the art equipment and services.

The hospital management team supports this personalized care in every way.

Expanding to meet the needs of a growing population

A 2001 expansion added 31,000 square feet of new construction and another 30,000 square feet of renovated space.

The project included a new second floor surgical department with five operating suites, an eight-bed post-anesthesia recovery area and a family waiting area and expanded imaging services.

Also new are dining and kitchen facilities, plus a new main entrance, lobby and Auxiliary gift shop.

In 2003, HCMH opened the Women’s Pavilion, designed to meet anticipated growth through 2010 and beyond.
