Palacios Community Medical Center Caring for life in our rural Bayside community and all over the MidCoast Healthcare network!

PCMC is the successor operation of Wagner General Hospital which was opened in Palacios in 1960 as a part of the Matagorda County Hospital District. Due to funding reductions and cost increases, the County Hospital District announced the closure of Wagner General Hospital in 2000. Local residents, led by the City of Palacios, were able to prevent the closure and the ownership of the physical property in Palacios was transferred to the Palacios Medical Foundation (PMF), which is a 501c3 organization. Wagner General was renamed, “Palacios Community Medical Center” in January 2001, and a new 501c3 entity (the PCMC) was organized, with a nine member Board of Directors of local citizens, who are all unpaid volunteers, to manage the 17 bed Critical Access Hospital and the Rural Health Care Clinic. In 2019 PCMC went into an affiliation with Mid Coast Health System who then took over management of the hospital and clinic. The Mid Coast Health System has a board of directors that includes several individuals form the Palacios area in addition to members from El Campo and Llano.

4 Ways to Ward Off Loneliness
Being alone does not always mean feeling lonely, and feeling lonely can happen even when surrounded by others.
Loneliness is about feeling disconnected or misunderstood, not simply about physical isolation. Over time, it can affect mood, motivation, and overall health.
Group support and shared experiences can help older adults feel connected, understood, and less alone.
Palacios Community Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides support for older adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. If someone you know is struggling, reaching out can make a difference.

Talking About Mental Health
For many older adults, mental health was not something people talked about openly.
Today, we know that speaking up about emotional well-being is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It can also be a proactive way to manage stress, build coping skills, and improve quality of life.
Support is a tool for living well at every age.
Palacios Community Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions supports older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. A fresh start can begin anytime. We are here when you need us.

National Social Work Month
March is National Social Work Month, a time to recognize the important role social workers play in senior mental health care.
In programs like ours, social workers help older adults navigate emotional challenges, connect with community resources, and advocate for their overall well-being. They support individuals and families through life transitions, stress, and mental health concerns with compassion and expertise.
Their work helps ensure older adults feel heard, supported, and empowered to care for their mental health.
Palacios Community Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides outpatient mental health services for older adults coping with depression, anxiety, grief, and life changes. If you or someone you love needs support this year, we are here to help.
