Laredo Medical Center

Laredo Medical Center Laredo Medical Center is Laredo’s largest hospital—a 326-bed licensed acute care facility offering a range of inpatient and outpatient services.

Laredo Medical Center’s quality of care has been recognized by respected agencies and national accrediting bodies. LMC is an accredited hospital by the Joint Commission. LMC also earned Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, and it received the designation as a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care service provider from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Additionally, LMC has just been conferred the designation of Chest Pain Accredited v6 with Primary PCI Accreditation from the American College of Cardiology. LMC is also accredited as an MBSAQIP for its bariatric program, the first hospital in Laredo to achieve the Center for Excellence designation for this program. The hospital also is home to the largest emergency center in the community with an Advanced Level III Trauma Designation. LMC has expanded its footprint in the region by opening its first stand-alone emergency room, Laredo Medical Center-North Central ER, at 9811 McPherson Road. Additionally, LMC is the only hospital in the community with a dedicated unit for bone and joint services, including robotic-assisted surgery for total knee, partial knee and total hip replacements. The LMC Primary Care Residency Programs for family medicine and internal medicine are making an impact on the care patients receive in the community. Now with a second cohort of residents, this is the city’s first nationally accredited graduate medical education programs to train future generations of physicians. We believe in the power of people to create great care. We're 1,200 healthcare professionals strong, and work hard every day to be a place of healing, caring and connection for patients and families in the community we call home.

Babies aren’t the only ones who need monitoring.

New moms do, too. Heart issues are one of the leading complications during postpartum, and they don’t always show up right away.

If something feels off, trust your gut and talk to your doctor. Your heart matters, too ❤️

✨ From Tiny Beginnings to Big Dreams ✨

In March 2006, Yolanda Maldonado delivered her daughter, Jamie, at just 30 weeks at Laredo Medical Center. The early days were filled with uncertainty, but thanks to the care and compassion of LMC's NICU team, both mom and baby were given strength and hope.

Fast forward 19 years: Jamie is thriving and now dreams of becoming a radiology technologist. Recently, she and her mom returned to LMC for a very special reunion with NICU nurse Elizabeth Kazen and Neonatal Program Manager/Clinical Coordinator Angelica Perez. To make the moment even sweeter, Mrs. Maldonado brought along cherished photos that nurse Elizabeth had taken of those first precious days in the NICU.

This reunion is a reminder of the lifelong bonds formed within our NICU walls and of the incredible journeys that begin here.
