Uvalde Memorial Hospital’s New, Modern Facility Improves Health Care Services for Rural Communities

Designed by Perkins&Will, the new Uvalde Memorial Hospital brings a larger, state-of-the-art facility with improved health care services and upgraded amenities for the growing, five-county communities in rural southeastern Texas. Supporting the safety, health, cleanliness, comfort and privacy of UMH’s patients, staff and visitors, Perkins&Will specified Rockfon acoustic stone wool ceiling products as the basis of design for the hospital’s modern interior.

Replacing a 50-year-old facility at the end of its functional lifespan, the new two-story, 180,000-square-foot building opened in March 2022. The new hospital creates “a user-friendly environment that puts our patients and visitors at the center,” said Tom Nordwick, who served as UMH’s president and CEO throughout the project’s development and construction.
