About LHC
Lamb Healthcare Center serves the residents of Lamb County and surrounding communities.

The hospital is located at 1500 South Sunset and is owned by Lamb County, and is supported by Lamb County tax dollars.
History
The hospital, in its current location, opened on August 1, 1979 as Littlefield Medical Center, under a management contract with a national hospital operator Hospital Affiliated, Inc.

Over the years, three other management companies were involved with the hospital, prior to the Hospital Authority resuming daily control in October, 1988. In 1991, the voters of Lamb County petitioned for the hospital to become a county hospital. The rural health clinic was the result of a merger of two clinics in 2003. The hospital is governed by a board of managers made up of residents from across Lamb County. Many of the members have served for years. Members include Tony Barton – President, Steve Busby – Vice-President, Carla Synatschk – Treasurer, Jeni D. Brunson – Secretary, fellow members are Evan Maxwell, Brenda Alcaraz, Gayla Gonzalez, Daniel (Boomer) Smith, and Cindy Muller. The board meets monthly.
