Cynthia Teniente-Matson and Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp at her inauguration as A&M-San Antonio’s president in 2015. The two on Thursday joined University Health System leaders to announce a partnership that will build a hospital next to the South Side campus.
“Today’s partnership is a game changer for creating unlimited opportunities,” A&M-San Antonio President Cynthia Teniente-Matson said. “Together we are also going to be a predominantly Latino and Latina student population to tangible career paths with a solid road map and real-world experience.” “One of the things we found out during the pandemic was that we only had one hospital in one location. We had lots of clinics, but only one hospital, and it became very difficult to take care of our patients,” Hernandez said. “At the peak of the pandemic in 2021, we had over 174 patients in the hospital with COVID, and itLocation was key.
The project also will include a clinic or public health facility adjacent to the hospital, for which Bexar County officials approved $30 million. The university will construct a building on its campus to house a new College of Education and Public Health, for which the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents has approved $45 million in funding.
