In Hereford, a hospital is more than a building. It’s where you go when your child spikes a fever at midnight, when your neighbor slips on the porch, or when your dad needs rehab after surgery. It’s not just a place — it’s a lifeline.

During National Hospital Week, we’re not just celebrating our facility. We’re honoring the people who make it work.

From the nurses and doctors to the lab techs, therapists, EMTs, environmental services, admissions, maintenance, and every role in between — our hospital is built on the work of local people who care deeply about this town. They don’t just show up. They stay late, step in, and stand up for their patients.

“Our hospital changes lives,” said Candice Smith, RN, CEO, Deaf Smith County Hospital District. “Our team is made up of people who live here, raise their families here, and go the extra mile because they believe in this place. We’re proud to be Hereford’s hospital.”

Hereford Regional Medical Center exists for one reason: to serve the people of Hereford and the surrounding communities with quality, compassionate care — close to home. That mission only works because of the team behind it.

This week, if you know someone who works at the hospital, take a moment to say thanks. They’re not just caring for patients. They’re caring for neighbors, friends, and family.

Hereford Regional Medical Center: your hospital, your team, your care.
