The Scenic Mountain Medical Center Mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality and safe patient care that exceeds the expectations of our patients, physicians, employees and volunteers, and to preserve and strengthen the tradition of community service.

Scenic Mountain Medical Center (SMMC), located on Martin Luther King Boulevard, admits 3400 patients to the 150-bed hospital each year, while the emergency department serves 14,000 people annually. The hospital hosts a staff of over 300 employees, delivers an annual payroll of $17 million and is involved in several community non-profit efforts. Notably, in 2008 the SMMC team raised over $21,000 to contribute to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

During the second half of 2008, services expand to include lithotripsy treatment and a sleep lab. A recent upgrade to the hospital’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment allows for magnetic resonance angiography which provides a detailed view of the blood vessels. This is extremely useful in detecting stroke and blood vessel diseases.

A Level IV Trauma Center designation, first earned in 2005, certifies that the Emergency Department at Scenic Mountain provides the equipment and resources to care for patients with traumatic injuries and illness. “This designation was given after SMMC underwent an extensive survey process by the Texas Department of State Health Services to demonstrate its commitment to high quality trauma care for the residents of Howard County and the surrounding area” says George Parsley, CEO of Scenic Mountain Medical Center. “We will continue to work to set new standards of excellence in providing emergency care.”
