The Broadening Scope of West Central Texas’ Healthcare
Abilene’s healthcare businesses and powerful network of universities and a technical college make healthcare one of the biggest industries in west central Texas and make up a substantial piece of the economy. Abilene leads the region through Hendrick Health, which serves the Big Country with three hospitals and multiple clinics. Groundbreaking medical research and extensive training of the future workforce is conducted through Abilene’s three private universities, one state university, and technical college.
From the award-winning Hendrick Health and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC)’s #2 Ranked School of Nursing Program to Hardin Simmons University’s Physical Therapy program being one of the highest-ranked in the state, Abilene is surely ripe with talent.
