Hospital systems throughout San Antonio are planning new facilities to close the distance between residents and acute-care hospitals.
Nearly every hospital system in San Antonio has scheduled what might be considered major operations aimed at closing the distance between local residents and acute care hospitals.
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the need for more space, according to a recent report by University Health officials for the Bexar County Hospital District’s board of managers. With only one hospital to serve all admitted patients, University Health struggled to provide care to non-COVID-19 patients during peaks in the pandemic.
In addition, acute-care hospitals tend to “drive the ecosystem of health care,” Ochoa said, attracting physicians and medical practices to establish nearby. No hospital means fewer providers in the area. In the meantime, Ochoa acknowledges that a hospital system’s investment in other parts of the community potentially improves their profits “so that they are able to reinvest in these areas that truly need it.”Resolute Health Hospital, part of the Baptist system, plans to spend $6 million on its New Braunfels facility to add operating rooms and a cardiac catheter lab, with construction set to start this summer and be completed in a year.
North Central Baptist Hospital, located at 520 Madison Oak Dr., is set to undergo $3 million in renovations to its women’s services department. In addition, the Bexar County Hospital District board recently approved the construction of two new hospitals.
