The South Texas Medical Center has become a key piece of San Antonio as an employer, research and development hub, and site of medical education.When we think of San Antonio, many things may come to mind: the Alamo, Spurs, River Walk, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, University of Texas at San Antonio, and, of course, our vibrant food and culture scene.
Since 1944, the South Texas Medical Center, on the city’s Northwest Side in the heart of District 8, has blossomed from 200 acres of bare land to more than 700 acres of development. With 200 acres of undeveloped land, this sprawling medical hub will continue to play an integral role in our economic vitality, and the health and wellness of our population.
The excellent health care provided here — through nine major medical institutions, hundreds of medical offices and UT Health San Antonio — creates a base for medical tourism. It’s estimated more than 5 million people visit the South Texas Medical Center annually. In addition to leading research and innovation, UT Health San Antonio is an exceptional training ground for those seeking careers in medicine, dentistry, nursing, the biomedical sciences and other health profession fields. A study of its economic impact in 2013 showed that nearly one-third of the tens of thousands of alumni remain here and help meet San Antonio’s demand for highly skilled labor.
