Total Impact Exceeded $211 Million
GRANBURY, Texas – At more than 340,000 patient encounters last year, Lake Granbury Medical Center delivered on its commitment to provide quality healthcare for the tri-county area of Hood, Erath and Somervell counties. The health system’s 2025 Community Benefit Report shows care extended well beyond the hospital and clinics, contributing more than $211 million to the region through charity and uncompensated care, capital dollars, employee payroll, charitable projects and payment of more than $8.6 million in taxes to support area schools and infrastructure.
The health system reinvested more than $19 million in improvement projects to expand access and strengthen services, including opening a new freestanding emergency department at the corner of Highway 377 and Fall Creek Highway – Lake Granbury ER Fall Creek.
“We are here to care for our patients and the place we all call home,” said Curt M. Junkins, chief executive officer of Lake Granbury Medical Center. “Health is central to quality of life, and we offer advanced medical services here in Granbury to make it easy to access the care you need. It’s our privilege to transform lives every day, helping patients manage their health at every stage of life.”
Emergency medicine remains a critical service for the region, with more than 30,000 visits annually to Lake Granbury Medical Center’s hospital-based emergency department and Lake Granbury ER Fall Creek. In 2025, the hospital provided life-saving medically necessary care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay, delivering more than $93 million in charity and uncompensated care.
The health system and its employees also support local organizations that make a difference, especially those addressing social determinants of health. Through service projects such as the annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter drive for local food banks and contributions to charitable organizations such as Ruth’s Place, United Way and Mission Granbury, Lake Granbury Medical Center gives back to the community throughout the year.
Payroll of more than $81 million supports the delivery of around-the-clock care by a team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all passionate about serving patients. Their compassion and skills make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and the larger community.
“We have immense gratitude for every member of our team, and we are investing in resources to support them in their work and a culture that attracts and retains these talented people,” said Junkins. “This team is passionate about delivering quality care to those who are counting on us. We have an unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence and doing the right thing every day for those who trust us with their care.”
Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals through onsite high school and university nursing education programs. Lake Granbury Medical Center’s osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine residency program currently trains eight resident physicians in hands-on osteopathic techniques used to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, joint dysfunction, and sports-related injuries.
Lake Granbury Medical Center remains committed to strengthening healthcare access across Hood, Erath and Somervell counties. Through continued investment in medical technology, physician recruitment and community partnerships, the health system is focused on giving residents access to high-quality care close to home for generations to come.
