SAN ANTONIO, March 18, 2024 – Leaders from The University of Texas System, UT Health Physicians, the clinical practice of UT Health San Antonio and The University of Texas at San Antonio gathered today to celebrate the opening of the new UT Health Outpatient and Surgery Center at Kyle Seale Parkway (UT Health at Kyle Seale Parkway). Joining them in the celebration were representatives from the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, elected officials and community supporters.
A special ribbon-cutting ceremony and presentation served as an official announcement of the facility’s opening. The event marked the completion of a five-story, 108,000-square-foot community medical facility, located near the southeast corner of Loop 1604 and Kyle Seale Parkway.
“We are proud to expand our footprint in Bexar County with the opening of UT Health at Kyle Seale Parkway,” said Robert Hromas, MD, FACP, acting president for UT Health San Antonio. “This facility is a testament to our commitment of enhancing access to high-quality health care services while fostering healthy communities.”
UT Health at Kyle Seale Parkway will include primary care, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, pathology, radiology, urology and outpatient surgery. Patients will also have access to the latest in diagnostic laboratory testing and convenient imaging services including MRI, CT scan, X-ray and ultrasound.
The area along Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County is experiencing tremendous growth. UT Health at Kyle Seale Parkway was built to meet the current and future health care needs of the area’s rapidly growing northwest side. The new location is an effort to respond and serve the community.
“The completion of our newest medical facility represents a significant milestone in providing exceptional health care services,” said Robert Leverence, MD, FACP, vice dean for clinical affairs and executive director of UT Health Physicians. “Our team of dedicated health care providers is excited to welcome patients and build lasting relationships within the community.”
UT Health at Kyle Seale Parkway will also include an ambulatory surgery center with four state-of-the-art operating suites, and 16 spacious pre-op and recovery rooms that start mid-April. Staffed by board-certified surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and medical technicians specially trained in surgical and recovery care. The surgical center will provide safe, contemporary suites for surgical procedures that do not require an overnight stay.
The project will have an estimated total economic impact of $42.4 million annually and will support approximately 130 jobs.
The facility will begin accepting primary and specialty care patients on Tuesday, March 19.
