Methodist Hospital

Chartered in 1955, Methodist Hospital became the first hospital built in the South Texas Medical Center. A group of businessmen known as the Five Oaks donated 40 acres for the development of a world-class medical hub. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in 1960 featuring a mock nuclear blast to showcase the design plans of the hospital: the world’s first nuclear-age hospital with two floors built completely underground to ensure vital services were available in the event of a nuclear attack. The hospital opened in 1963 and welcomed the first baby born in the Medical Center. Methodist Hospital now delivers more than 5,000 babies annually. In addition to its outstanding obstetrics program, Methodist Hospital is also known for its outstanding neurology and neurosurgical care as well as orthopedics, bone marrow transplants, emergency services and an oncology program which includes South Texas’ only Gamma Knife® Center. Methodist Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission in stroke care and is one of two Texas hospitals to receive the highest quality award from the Texas medical Foundation Health Quality Institute: The Texas Medical Foundation Gold Award for Health Care Improvement.

Methodist Heart Hospital

As an accredited chest pain center, Methodist Heart Hospital is the area’s leader in cardiac care and recognized for an outstanding heart transplant program. Methodist Heart Hospital pioneered many procedures in cardiac care, including the first balloon angioplasty and the first heart valve transplant, and was the first hospital in San Antonio to offer a cardio-hospitalist program in which two cardiologists work in the hospital on rotating shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, prepared to care for patients with signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Methodist Heart Hospital recently opened a Hybrid Operating Room, offering cardiology specialists and surgeons the opportunity to provide a wider range of services in a single room. Methodist Heart Hospital is the only private hospital in the area performing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, or TAVR.

Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital

Home to the Texas Transplant Institute, the center made medical history by performing the world’s first 16-way kidney donor exchange in three consecutive days in a single center. The kidney transplant program is the largest living donor program in the nation, due to the success of its paired exchange kidney program.
