About the Company:
Chartered in 1955, Methodist Hospital is the pioneer facility of the new world-renowned South Texas
Medical Center. Opened in 1963, Methodist Hospital has grown to be the flagship facility of the
Methodist Healthcare System, San Antonio's largest and most preferred health care provider.
Methodist Hospital maintains this excellent reputation with a commitment to the hospital's needs by
exceeding their expectations. With 672 beds, Methodist Hospital offers a broad range of specialties
including cardiology, oncology, emergency medicine, neurosciences, maternity care, gynecology and
orthopedics.
Methodist Hospital 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.
In the 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 treatments of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular
malformations, and other neurological disorders.
Methodist Hospital offers many advanced imaging
technologies that provide clear, detailed x-rays so physicians can diagnose and treat their
patients' diseases. These tools include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3T magnetic resonance
imaging, computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), cerebral angiography and
picture arching and communications systems (PACS). PACS captures images through the computer
instead of an x-ray film. As a result, physicians with the PACS software installed on their
computers can view x-rays in their office, from several locations within the hospital and even from
home, providing faster and more convenient access to their patients' x-rays.
Approximately 2,000
physicians representing virtually all medical specialties comprise the Methodist's medical staff.
It also maintains one of the highest nurse-to-patient ratios in the Southwest.
