As we consider the progress of DHCHS, we do not want to forget the values that have been left to us by Richard Coon.  This belief acknowledges the dignity of each person who comes to us for care.  Each entity subscribes to an altruistic philosophy, which characterizes the benevolence of its founder.  The values left to us many years ago are still applicable today.

DHCHS is proud of the progress of Dalhart and of the Hospital System.  The System has doubled its gross revenue in the past seven years.  Imaging services have been upgraded with state of the art CAT scan and digital x-ray that allows the technician to send x-rays directly to the radiologists in Amarillo and   receive the reports in minutes.  Our lab recently installed a C-450 which allows to us receive accurate results in half the time previously required.  Technology will continue to help with the progress that will be needed in the future.

The care and treatment of the whole person in all of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs requires deep sympathy on our part.  Educated minds and skilled hands must combine with sympathetic, compassionate and understanding hearts.  In our cooperative undertakings we share our resources, both  human and material.
