Compassionate Care Close to Home

At Ward Memorial Hospital, our Medical/Surgical Unit is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to residents of Monahans and the surrounding communities. Our goal is to help patients recover safely and return home as quickly as possible.

The Med/Surg Unit is a 25-bed inpatient unit designed to provide comfortable, high-quality care close to home.

Each private room includes its own bathroom and modern furnishings to help patients rest and recover in a welcoming environment.

Our unit provides care for patients of all ages who require hospitalization for illness, injury, recovery after surgery, or ongoing medical treatment. Our experienced healthcare team works together to develop an individualized plan of care tailored to each patient’s needs.
