Welcome to UT Healthier News, the health and wellness newsletter brought to you by the physicians and care providers of UT Health San Antonio.
As a patient or potential patient, you may know that UT Medicine was made up of the doctors from the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The Health Science Center is now known as UT Health San Antonio, and UT Medicine is also aligning its name to UT Health to help simplify the unique and important integrated relationship between teaching, research and patient care, which supports the most advanced health care in the region.
While our name has changed, our commitment to the highest quality of patient-focused health care remains steadfast. UT Health San Antonio is the same group of more than 700 physicians representing 125 specialties or sub-specialties that has served the health needs of hundreds of thousands of South Texans for many years. Indeed, UT Health is the largest medical practice in Central and South Texas.
In addition to our major outpatient facility at the Medical Arts & Research Center in the South Texas Medical Center on Floyd Curl Drive, primary care clinics and other specialized facilities exist throughout San Antonio. In March, our newest outpatient facility, UT Health Hill Country, will open near Boerne with a wide range of specialists and imaging services.
As an academic health center, UT Health San Antonio is unique in the depth and quality of patient care offered in South Texas. In scientific research and discovery, UT Health’s research faculty works closely with providers and patients to develop lifesaving advances in treatments for diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases and regenerative medicine. From primary care to the most complex diseases, UT Health physicians are here to serve you and your family with the most advanced technology, comprehensive knowledge, expert care and compassion.
So, welcome to UT Health. Today, as always, we pledge our commitment to a Healthier you.
