Medical Care
Amarillo is the "small BIG city" in the Texas panhandle and its 26-county region. Not only does Amarillo offer entertainment, higher education, shopping, and more to its citizens and those from its surrounding towns, but the healthcare available in Amarillo is top-notch as well. Amarillo is home to two major hospitals, BSA Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System. There is also the Thomas E. Creek Veteran’s Hospital, Harrington Cancer Center, and several outpatient surgery centers, as well as many urgent care facilities that offer general healthcare services as well as some specialty treatments. All in all, Amarillo is the place to get the compassionate, first-rate medical care you and your family deserve without needing to travel to a different city.
BSA Health System is one of the major hospitals in Amarillo. It provides excellent clinical care, and is acclaimed and award-winning for its superior quality of care and customer service. It’s the fourth largest employer in Amarillo and has more than 450 physicians on staff. BSA’s mission is to “…provide quality healthcare in Christian love, service, and dignity.” BSA is a product of the 1996 merging of two former hospitals, High Plains Baptist Hospital and St. Anthony’s Hospital. In 2013, BSA became an affiliate of Ardent Health Services, a company with a proven track record in the healthcare industry. All of BSA’s 3,500 employees strive to make it a great place for patients and a great place to work. BSA is recognized as one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by IBM Watson Health and their Emergency Department has been named Amarillo’s "Best Emergency Room" 80 years in a row by local residents.
Northwest Texas Healthcare System is a 495-bed acute-care facility and medical center. It’s been providing top tier care for Amarillo since 1924. Patients have access to advanced technological innovations for diagnosis and treatment because of Northwest’s designation as a tertiary care academic institution. Well-known for their heart, emergency, stroke, and children’s care, their mission is to “…provide safe, superior quality healthcare services that patients recommend to family and friends, physicians prefer, students excel within, employees are proud of, and which uphold community values.” They are designated as the Lead Trauma Facility for the top 26 counties within the Texas Panhandle.
There are numerous general practitioners and specialty practitioners in Amarillo who consistently meet their patients’ needs with quality medical services and that genuine, Amarillo kindness that’s the norm around the yellow city. Also, many of the urgent-care facilities in town offer general care such as well exams, physicals, and sick care, but many also offer other services, such as allergy testing, hormone replacement therapy, and onsite x-ray and laboratory services. Your family will be in good hands with Amarillo’s highly trained, competent, and caring medical community.
