Introducing our March #NICU Miracle of the Month, Ilan! Ilan was born at 37 weeks and spent a little over a week in our NICU. Ilan loves football, baseball and pepperoni pizza. "He keeps us on our toes and loves to go all day long" said Ilan's mother. "He is full of energy. It is hard to believe he was a NICU baby."
Congratulations to our Employees of the Month, Viv and Andy! #GoodStewards #ProudtobeORMC

All adults will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Texas beginning Monday, March 29. The Texas Department of State Health Services expects vaccine supplies to increase next week, and providers in multiple parts of the state have made great strides in vaccinating people in the current priority groups.
“As we continue to remove barriers for the community to receive these vaccines, we really have a chance to accelerate putting this pandemic behind us, and getting back to our lives,” said Dr. Rohith Saravanan, chief medical officer at Odessa Regional Medical Center.

ORMC’s Community Health Center (CHC) will no longer provide walk-in COVID-19 testing. There are several testing resources available in our community, including clinics, urgent cares, ERs, labs, pharmacies, and private doctor’s offices.
COVID-19 testing is still available to patients in our ER and at our Steward Medical Group and Complete Care clinics, which can be found on our COVID-19 webpage. The CHC will continue to concentrate its efforts solely on vaccinations, without putting those individuals at risk of being exposed by those seeking testing. https://bit.ly/3eWPnw1
