Citizens Medical Center is a 344-bed acute care hospital providing Victoria and South Texas with the technology and medical sophistication of a big city and the personal care of a small town. Citizens Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Since 1956, this progressive, major medical center has helped Victoria earn the reputation as one of the best places to live in America for quality health care. With over 1,200 people employed, Citizens plays a major role in the rapidly growing South Texas economy and is the largest community-owned healthcare provider in the region.
As a not-for-profit hospital, Citizens' financial resources stay in the community, and are reinvested in the hospital, its technology and its people. Citizens Medical Center's service area includes the surrounding counties, with a referral population of 140,000.
The care givers at Citizens Medical Center are most likely friends or neighbors. The medical staff consists of 240 physicians representing 34 medical specialties.
The Medical Center's commitment to quality was recognized in 2005 by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations with a three year accreditation award with a Gold Seal of Approval.
