What makes Montague County different: Montague County's largest city, Bowie (~5,200-5,400 residents), has had no full-service hospital since Bowie Memorial Hospital closed in 2015; the Faith Community Health System ER that opened in Bowie in October 2023 shut down on October 6, 2024 after less than a year, leaving Nocona General Hospital in the north of the county as the only hospital actually located in Montague County. This thin local inpatient infrastructure pushes many of the county's roughly 5,800 Medicare beneficiaries toward United Regional in Wichita Falls (~35-40 miles away), and Medicare Advantage penetration here (~35%) sits below the Texas statewide average.
