LMC is an okay place to work. Biggest draw back is upper management and their tendencies to always be  too fiscally involved, causing patient care to be sub par at times and many staff members  having to use PTO to complete checks. Also many of the treatments and equipment are outdated. The staff members are always great. Pay is decent for the area and benefits are okay. May be a good hospital for someone new out of school, but for someone who has been working for a while in the field will find many caveats with this facility.

Very unsafe. You're expected to have an assignment of 5-7 newborns and admit and discharge at the same time. Nobody helps

Laredo Medical Center is Laredo’s largest hospital — a 326-bed licensed acute care facility offering a range of inpatient and outpatient services. Laredo Medical Center’s quality of care has been recognized by respected agencies and national accrediting bodies. LMC is an accredited hospital by the Joint Commission. LMC also earned Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, and it received the designation as a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care service provider from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Additionally, LMC has just been conferred the designation of Chest Pain Accredited v6 with Primary PCI Accreditation from the American College of Cardiology. LMC is also accredited as an MBSAQIP for its bariatric program, the first hospital in Laredo to achieve the Center for Excellence designation for this program. The hospital also is home to the largest emergency center in the community with an Advanced Level III Trauma Designation. LMC grew its footprint in the region by constructing its first stand-alone emergency room, Laredo Medical Center-North Central ER, in early 2020 at 9811 McPherson Road.

Additionally, LMC is the only hospital in the community with a dedicated unit for bone and joint services, including robotic-assisted surgery for total knee, partial knee and total hip replacements. The LMC primary care residency programs for family medicine and internal medicine are making an impact on the care patients receive in the community. Now with a second cohort of residents, this is the city’s first nationally accredited graduate medical education programs to train future generations of physicians.
