Introducing Methodist Hospital Atascosa, formerly known as Methodist Hospital South

On July 1, Methodist Healthcare acquired South Texas Regional Medical Center from Community Health Systems. The 67-bed hospital is located in Jourdanton, Texas.

“The acquisition of South Texas Regional Medical Center aligns with Methodist Healthcare's goal of increasing access across the region to meet the health care needs of our rural communities in South Texas. The ability to offer our management, purchasing, labor and technological resources will help move South Texas Regional Medical Center to an even higher level of care for their patients,” states Jaime Wesolowski, president and CEO of Methodist Healthcare.

The mission of Methodist Healthcare is to provide exceptional patient care, which is reflected in recent recognition by external organizations. Four Methodist facilities received an “A” in the Spring 2017 Leapfrog Patient Safety grades. Methodist Hospital Stone Oak is the only CMS Five Star hospital in San Antonio. This dedication to exceptional patient care and safety is prevalent in all Methodist facilities.
