McCurtain Memorial Hospital - the leading provider of healthcare in Southeast Oklahoma.

OUR HISTORY


McCurtain Memorial Medical Management, Incorporate, doing-business-as McCurtain Memorial Hospital, began in the Fall of 1953 in a single-story hospital located in the heart of Idabel, Oklahoma and in 1974 moved into its current location at 1301 East Lincoln Road, Idabel, Oklahoma. The present hospital was built to accommodate growth not only in the community, but to expand services and patient care. 

The current hospital sits on approximately six acres of land and consists of over 115,000 square feet and was built to house 112 beds. The 3-story facility in Idabel, Oklahoma is located just north of the Texas/Oklahoma Border in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. In 2018, the hospital sought and was designated its current "Critical Access Hospital" status from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and is now a licensed 25-bed hospital occupying only two-thirds of the original building.

Critical Access Hospital's (CAH) are small, rural hospitals located throughout the United States and receive reimbursements from CMS based upon costs. The hospital has an emergency room, inpatient Medical/Surgical Unit, Swing Bed Unit, General Surgery and a host of inpatient and outpatient services. Employing over two-hundred healthcare workers, the hospital is one of the largest employers in the county.

The hospital is a private, not-for-profit organization that is managed by a Board of Directors that consists of up to nine members. The Board of Directors hires and supervises the hospital President and Chief Executive Officer who in turn employs and manages the workforce as well as the day-to-day operations of the hospital. 

Don't let the size fool you: McCurtain Memorial Hospital's emergency department see's over 14,000 visits per year and those visits consist of locals or the more than 30,000 tourist that flock to the area at times. McCurtain County, Oklahoma is home to Beavers Bend State Park and attracts visitors from all over the world to explore, fish and take a step back from the busy day-to-day. Thousands of cabins located throughout the county, with a large portion in the beautiful and historic town of Hochatown, is a huge attraction for tourist. 

Though she has aged, McCurtain Memorial Hospital has never waivered in her commitment to the people of southeastern Oklahoma. Each day, men and women who have accepted the call to serve save lives and make a difference in the lives of those we encounter. There is something unique at McCurtain Memorial Hospital that you will experience from the moment you walk in our doors and you will leave knowing you were amongst people who care.

A Message from our President


Welcome to McCurtain Memorial Hospital. 

My name is Brian Whitfield and I am the hospital's President and Chief Executive Officer. Since 2022, my team and I have been committed to ensuring that McCurtain Memorial Hospital is a place where men and women who work here and patients who come here for treatment, feels like home. 

There is something special about this hospital and I learned quickly that it is simply the men and women who choose to work here. The commitment to serve others, on top of exceptional healthcare being provided, is what sets this hospital apart from many. We are southeastern Oklahoma and we realize that we have been given the incredible opportunity to serve those we are family to, friends with, go to church with, or our children go to school with. We take everything we do to heart and that includes the call we accepted to serve our community.

As the hospital's President and CEO, my door is always open. You do not need an appointment and dropping in is perfectly fine. I will happily meet with you and if I am unable to assist you personally, I have one of the greatest teams in healthcare who can. 

Thank you for your choice to work at and to receive treatment at McCurtain Memorial Hospital. What an incredible privilege it is to serve you as the hospital's leader. 

Together in Service,
