I will always have a bond with this facility. When I introduce myself to a patient I can say not only have I worked here more than 10yrs but I was one of the first babies born here. The facility opened in Feb and I was born in May. I'm a true local girl.

Sixty-five years ago I was born in a small town hospital in Alvin, Texas. Forty years ago I had not yet so much as been a visitor to Fredericksburg. We made our home here in 2002. In 2004 I joined the HCM Auxiliary. This community and this hospital have a permanent place in my heart. I never felt like an outsider and everyone at HCM was friendly and welcoming. It is my pleasure and honor to volunteer my time at a community hospital that continues to progress in the medical care it provides yet remains a place of integrity and down home friendliness and concern. Linda C. Wilson, HCM Auxiliary, Life Member, Past President

What a surprise to move to a small community and find such a terrific hospital! I worked 30 years in Houston hospitals as a medical social worker so I have experience some of the best. None, I mean NONE have the dedication to care for patients and for each other of HCM. What a blessing! First I came as a part-time social worker for a time. Then a friend asked that I join the Auxiliary. I agreed to help a friend and expected to do so for a year. Now as a Life member, former President, and with 7000 hours of service, I have a job again. This is a place one cannot get out of your system, a place you want to help succeed and a place where you long to serve because it serves you so well. Hill Country Memorial leaves an imprint on your heart! Thanks for being you! Victoria Rust, Front Lobby Reception and Auxiliary

I am an employee of the hospital - and when i was hired on - i was welcomed with open arms and was filled with an enourmous amout of information about the history of the hospital which I found very interesting. This hospital is truly a great place of employment. The one thing I found that I really enjoy and that brings a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I might be having is a beautiful little lullaby that is played everytime a baby has been brought into this world at HCM. In any of the bigger hospitals that I have been in, you just don't hear that - it has that home town feeling, very warming!!!
