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 Medical Center South, formerly Abilene Regional Medical Center, is a 231-bed facility with inpatient, outpatient, medical, surgical and emergency care.
