About
United Regional Health Care System's story is one of deep-rooted commitment to the well-being of the greater Wichita Falls area in Texas. For decades, it has evolved from simply a collection of a hospital and clinics into a trusted partner in the community's health journey. The organization's passion has always been clear: to provide excellence in health care for every individual it serves. This journey has been marked by a continuous effort to raise the standard for healthcare in the region, achieved through a combination of high-quality care, the adoption of state-of-the-art technology, and the dedication of a highly skilled team of expert professionals. The narrative of United Regional is not just about treating illness but about fostering a healthier community from the ground up. It stands as the region's primary healthcare resource, a vital asset that the community relies upon for everything from life-saving emergency care to routine clinic visits. Beyond the walls of its facilities, United Regional's commitment extends into the very fabric of the community. The organization has woven itself into the lives of residents through impactful outreach programs, vital health education initiatives, and strategic partnerships aimed at promoting overall well-being. A significant part of its identity is its role as the community's 'safety net,' providing millions of dollars in charity care annually to support a significant uninsured and underinsured population. This ensures that everyone has access to necessary medical services, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2024 alone, this commitment translated to over $27 million in charity care costs, demonstrating a profound investment in making a positive difference. With a workforce of approximately 2,400 staff members, 300 physicians, and nearly 100 volunteers, United Regional's impact is vast, touching countless lives through hundreds of thousands of patient interactions each year and solidifying its legacy as more than a healthcare provider, but a true pillar of the community.
