Board of Directors

Guiding Our Vision

The Medina County Hospital District was established under and is governed and operated pursuant to Article 9, Section 4, of the Texas Constitution, Chapter 286 of the Texas Health and Safety Code, and other applicable laws of the State of Texas. In 2009, Medina County voters exercised their option to create the Medina County Hospital District. Under state law, the hospital district (through the County Commissioners Court) is authorized to levy ad valorem taxes to support its functions, including providing funding for the care of its indigent residents.

The district owns and manages the assets of the Medina Healthcare System, which includes Medina Regional Hospital and eight clinics. The Medina County Hospital District board of directors is composed of seven elected directors. Four directors are elected by the voters in the four county precincts, and three directors are elected at-large. Directors are elected to two-year terms, with elections held in conjunction with the November general election. In 2014, the board of directors voted to change the two-year terms to four-year terms.
