Hendrick Medical Center: Military Personnel Are a Godsend
ABILENE, TX – Last week Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene welcomed 40 military medical personnel that came to provide aid to hospital staff.
Abilene hospitals have dealt with a constant influx of patients who are suffering from COVID-19 and have to be hospitalized.
According to Hendrick Health Assistant CNO, Heather Ray, the hospital staff needed help.
“Nearly half of the patients that go to the ICU, don t survive. And that s very difficult and taxing on a nurse, especially our young nurses, said Ray. The support of the DOD is a godsend to our staff. They are tired.”

“I chose Family Medicine because I want to be able to provide front-line, full-spectrum primary care and to serve others with a focus on compassion, solidarity, holism, and developing relationships. I have a passion for working directly with Soldiers and know continuing my medical education at Fort Bragg will allow me the opportunity to pursue a career in supporting military operations and to grow as an osteopathic physician in the military community.”

Andrew Henwood, warned sailors that they could only use drinking water for the first 10 minutes of every hour, adding that water, juice, soda and ice machines aren’t available “when potable water is secured.” The officer also noted that laundry service was stopped “until further notice.” While food service was not expected to be impacted, Henwood said his “largest concern” was the “Afloat Mount Trashmore,” mounds of garbage piling up in the aft mess decks that were “a function of the reliance on paper products and the creation of trash exceeding the processing capacity of our Trash Rooms.”
