Southwestern Medical Center is a 199-bed, 4-star CMS-rated hospital known for delivering high-quality, comprehensive care to Southwest Oklahoma. It has earned consistent national recognition, including an “A” grade for hospital safety from The Leapfrog Group, Healthgrades’ 2024 “Outstanding Patient Experience” award, and multiple appearances on Newsweek’s “Best-In-State” and “World’s Best Hospitals” lists. As one of the region’s most accredited hospitals, the medical center holds certifications as a primary stroke center, chest pain center and ambulatory health care provider. Its extensive services include a rehabilitation center, a sleep center, and the 92-bed Southwestern Behavioral Health Center serving both pediatric and adult patients.
