About

OakBend Medical Center is passionately focused on patient-centered medicine. We have up-ended the traditional nursing model, putting the patient in the driver’s seat when it comes to his or her plan of care. We believe – and research shows – that your communication and cooperation have more to do with your outcome than anything we do. Our focus on patient outcomes drives OakBend’s services. OakBend is home to some of the most advanced programs in Fort Bend County including our No Wait emergency rooms and the Jack and Billie Wendt Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) Unit. OakBend’s emergency rooms boast total treatment times of just over two hours, and the average stay on the ACE unit is 3.5 days. Both of these statistics are 40% better than the national average. Research shows that reduced wait times in the emergency room and shorter hospital stays produce significant benefits for patients. OakBend remains committed to developing the very best ways to care for our patients, ensuring a healthy future for generations to come. - Joe Freudenberger, Chief Executive Officer
