Opened in 1963, Methodist Hospital is a 683-bed, acute care, regional referral center with 2,500 employees that is the pioneer flagship hospital of the South Texas Medical Center. It is San Antonio's largest private hospital as well as the largest provider of health care to rural communities in South Texas and international patients from Mexico. Methodist's specialties include:
In late 1998, Methodist Hospital opened the Gamma Knife Center, the only one of its kind in San Antonio and South Texas. The Gamma Knife offers new radiosurgical technology designed exclusively for the non-invasive treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular malformations and other neurologic disorders.
There are multiple critical care units at Methodist: surgical intensive care, medical intensive care and neurological intensive care as well as a highly-specialized bone marrow transplant unit. There are also intermediate critical care units for those patients requiring less intensive nursing attention. Methodist Heart Hospital offers coronary care units and heart services.
