About/History:
For more than a century Baptist Health System has been caring for the health and spiritual needs of people in San Antonio, south Texas and beyond. Baptist Health System is the first to bring robotically-assisted surgery to San Antonio, and the first to achieve Chest Pain Center Certification at all of our hospitals.

In 1903, a group of 30 or more physicians, members of the young Bexar County Medical Society, together with about 30 business and professional men, organized the San Antonio Associated Charities, which in turn initiated construction of a four-story hospital on Dallas Street, the Physicians' and Surgeons' Hospital.

The Baptist Health System was purchased by Vanguard Health Systems in 2003. Proceeds of the system's sale were used to establish the Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio. The Foundation funds not-for-profit healthcare services and education throughout South Texas.

Today, Baptist Health System is a recognized leader in healthcare in San Antonio and South Texas. Baptist is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, is the fourth largest civilian employer in San Antonio and is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Baptist Health System includes 5 acute-care hospitals which offer 1,753 licensed beds.
