Our healthcare team’s mission is to serve all by providing safe, high quality care; to achieve excellent financial performance; and to train tomorrow’s healthcare professionals as the primary teaching hospital for the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. UMC has a strong and enduring partnership with Texas Tech which helps fulfill UMC’s mission and helps support Tech’s academic pursuits of education and research. As one grows, the other prospers.
During the last 40 years UMC-- a public hospital for the citizens of
Lubbock County-- has become a health system we can be proud of and a
great investment for Lubbock County taxpayers. Together with UMC Physicians, UMC has seen an increase in market share, demand for
service, and growth in reputation. Even during difficult economic times,
sound financial planning has allowed the system to thrive.
