We Love Our Nurses
This National Nurses Week, we want to celebrate our hardworking nurses! Our nurses have been fighting on the frontlines while giving compassionate care to patients and their families. Explore below to view our nurses who won awards at our annual nurse’s breakfast earlier this month.
Brand New Children’s Emergency Center is Now Open
UMC’s brand new Children's Emergency Center has opened and we cannot be more excited! The UMC Children’s Emergency Center is an emergency room just for kids, with access to more resuscitation and trauma rooms than any other hospital in West Texas.
Your Continued Success
Because of your continued dedication and success, UMC was once again named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience by the Women’s Choice Award®. UMC ranks 29 out of almost 500 major hospitals!
Healthgrades 2021 Outstanding Patient Experience Award™
UMC received the Healthgrades 2021 Outstanding Patient Experience Award™, and we cannot be more excited! This means, out of over 3,000 hospitals, UMC Health System is among the top hospitals nationwide for patient experience, according to Healthgrades, the leading marketplace that connects patients and providers.
Neonatal Nurse Practitioners Spotlight
Our neonatal nurse practitioners serve as the primary caregiver to newborn infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We want to thank our neonatal nurse practitioners for their hard work and passionate care for our smallest and most delicate patients.
Reverified as the Region’s Burn Center
We are SO proud of the UMC Timothy J. Harnar Burn Center for being reverified by the American Burn Association as the regional burn center! This means UMC continues to be the regional burn center from Arizona to Dallas, and from Oklahoma to the Texas and Mexico border.
Zero Heroes
As most of you know, UMC has a goal of being a High Reliability Organization (HRO). This means, although we operate in high-risk environments, we aim for ZERO preventable harm. We are so proud to have multiple units making huge strides in achieving HRO!
