Victoria residents can depend on quality health care with two main hospital systems serving the community: Citizens Medical Center and DeTar Healthcare System, which includes DeTar Hospital Navarro and DeTar Hospital North.

Citizens Medical Center serves Victoria and South Texas patients as the largest health-care provider in the area. The 344-bed acute care hospital is not-for-profit and community owned in order to provide quality medical services without being costly for patients. There are 220 physicians covering 36 specialties, and the center is accredited by DNV Healthcare Inc. A helicopter service, Citizens Air Medical, works to transport the critically ill or injured to the facility. 

The hospital also operates centers specializing in bariatrics, chest pain, women's diagnostics and the Kathryn O'Connor Regional Cancer Center, as well as fitness and rehabilitation facilities, and four family medicine clinics. The center continued its commitment to provide the most current diagnostic and therapeutic equipment by investing $8 million into radiographic equipment, radiation therapy and patient safety.
