University Health (UH) is a nationally recognized academic medical center with associated outpatient health care centers across Bexar County. In partnership with UT Medicine San Antonio, UH is consistently recognized as a leader in advanced treatment options, new technologies, and clinical research. UH was the first health system in South Texas to earn Magnet status from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Only six percent of the nation’s hospitals have earned this designation, which is widely accepted as the “gold standard” in measuring the quality of care that healthcare consumers can expect to receive.

The University Health Women’s & Children’s Hospital is the first of its kind in South Texas, housing an advanced Level IV maternity center, Level IV NICU, pediatric emergency department, and Women’s Center for OB/GYN emergencies. University Hospital’s Emergency Department is the busiest in the region, with more than 120,000 visits each year. Emergency care includes adult emergency room, designated pediatric emergency room, and premiere trauma care as one of two adult and the only pediatric Level 1 trauma center in South Texas. University Health provides healthcare for families close to home at our clinic locations, including the Robert B. Green Campus, Texas Diabetes Institute, 13 neighborhood clinics across the community, five urgent-care clinics and four outpatient renal dialysis centers. 

The University Transplant Center is a twice-awarded Medal of Honor recipient from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and received the INTERLINK 2024 Chairman’s Award as the number one liver transplant program in the nation. In addition, UH provides high quality care as a certified comprehensive stroke center, 2024 ELSO Gold level award of excellence in life support, 2025 US News and World report high performing in maternity care ranking, 2024 Chest Pain registry platinum performance achievement award winner and 2024 cystic fibrosis accreditation and quality improvement award winner.
