Baptist Health System is a leading provider of health care in San Antonio and South Texas. At Baptist Health System, the most advanced medical technology available today is provided so that physicians have the best tools available for the diagnosis and treatment of their patients. Baptist was the first health system to bring Robotically-Assisted surgery to San Antonio, offering a number of advantages over traditional “open” surgery. Recovery time is often much quicker, the procedure is less invasive than regular surgery so scarring is minimal, and there is less risk of infection or blood loss. This means that patients spend less time in the hospital, with fewer complications, less pain and greater benefits. Many heart, urological, and gynecological procedures can be performed robotically including heart bypass, prostatectomy and more.

Bariatrics weight loss surgery is also available at Baptist hospitals, as are a variety of cosmetic surgery options offered in partnership with board certified plastic surgeons. Comprehensive women’s services are provided at each of the hospitals which have all been recently renovated to offer beautifully decorated, private labor and post-partum suites.

Baptist Health System includes five acute-care hospitals; Baptist Medical Center, North Central Baptist Hospital, Northeast Baptist Hospital, Southeast Baptist Hospital and St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital, each dedicated to the mission of healing, teaching and Christian service aimed at relieving and alleviating human illness and suffering. Baptist Health System has been recognized as a Solucient 100 Top Hospitals, and each of the five hospitals has earned Accredited Chest Pain Center designation, the first and only health system to earn this achievement in San Antonio. Baptist Health System’s Heart Alert program means people suffering a heart attack get life-saving interventional treatment even faster than the national standard.
