That would depend on what features the medical office wants. If the office wants something simple, pretty well any decent free HTML text editor will do. Notepad++ is one. Visual Web Developer 2010 Express is another.
As far as graphics go, I use Photoshop. Others use GIMP. Both have a bit of a learning curve, though.If I've helped you out in any way, please pay it forward. My wife and I are walking for Autism Speaks. Please donate, and thanks.
If someone helped you out, be sure to "Like" their post and/or help them in kind. The "Like" link is on the bottom right of each post, beside the "Share" link.

GIMP gives you nightmares when starting out

You don't need software, per se. You need knowledge of the languages, like HTML, CSS, JS. PHP and MySQL if the site needs a database, which it probably will, since it is a medical office site.

Another vote for Notepad++, I've also used Kompozer in the past which was pretty easy to understand when I first started. Photoshop & GIMP for graphics
