Owned by the people of Bexar County, University Health System is a nationally recognized academic medical center. In partnership with UT Medicine San Antonio, the practice plan of The University of Texas Health Science Center, it is consistently recognized as a leader in advanced treatment options, new technologies and clinical research. University Health System is South Texas’ first and only health system to earn Magnet status. Only about six percent of U.S. hospitals have earned this prestigious designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in Washington, D.C. Magnet hospitals offer patients reassurance they are being cared for by a team with a proven track record for providing excellent care and positive outcomes for their patients. University Health System is also consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report in its annual Best Hospitals Survey. University Health System is one of the largest employers in Bexar County with over 5,000 employees and nearly 700 resident physicians. Its facilities serve as the primary teaching locations for the UT Health Science Center School of Medicine. University Hospital, currently operating 496 beds, is one of just 15 Level I trauma centers in Texas. It serves the lead Level I Trauma Center and the only Pediatric Trauma Center for 22 South Texas counties. The Emergency Center at University Hospital is the busiest in the region and averages nearly 70,000 visits each year. A new one million square-foot hospital tower will open at University Hospital in the Spring of 2014.
