Our History
Serving West Texas for Generations
Martin County Hospital District has served the people of Martin County for more than seven decades. The original hospital opened near downtown Stanton in 1949, providing essential healthcare services to the growing community.
MCHD was formally organized as a hospital district in 1967, with boundaries coterminous with Martin County, Texas. As the community’s healthcare needs continued to evolve, the District began planning for a modern facility designed to support high-quality rural healthcare for future generations.
In May 2012, MCHD opened a new state-of-the-art, 18-bed Critical Access Hospital along Interstate 20. Since then, the District has continued expanding its facilities, services, technology, and provider network to meet the changing healthcare needs of West Texas.
