Healthcare

Amarillo has some of the nation’s finest health care facilities.  From the Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center to a regional Veterans Administration Hospital, these facilities serve Amarillo, the Panhandle and residents of four bordering states.

Northwest Texas Healthcare System, BSA Health System, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, VA Amarillo Healthcare System, and NWTHS Behavioral Health  are among facilities served by physicians, dentists and many others in specialty fields.  Some 80 medical specialties and 100 surgical specialties are practiced in the health care community. Many facilities are based at the Harrington Regional Medical Campus, located in the northwest corner of Amarillo. The Medical Campus is an alliance that includes more than 30 facilities and agencies which are individually motivated, yet jointly committed, to providing high-quality, accessible health care for a region that includes the Texas Panhandle and four neighboring states, an area larger than 25,500 square miles.  Along with providing primary and acute care services, the Medical Campus has residents/members that offer high-level tertiary care, accommodations for patients and their families, and ancillary services that result in improved quality of life for Medical Campus patrons.
