DHR Health
DHR Health is a physician-owned health system that offers some of the most comprehensive medical care on the U.S. Southern Border. From general acute care services and preventative health programs to graduate medical education and clinical research, at DHR Health over 700 physicians and more than 1,200 nurses dedicate themselves to offering a full continuum of care in over 70 different sub-specialties. DHR Health is addressing all of the health care needs of its community while eliminating the need to seek health care services outside the region, which has transformed DHR Health into a national best practice model minority-serving hospital. DHR Health was founded in 1997 to help over 1.4 million residents resolve limited healthcare access challenges in a community that lacked public and county hospitals. Becoming a comprehensive health system in 2013, DHR continues to be the premier healthcare provider in South Texas. What sets DHR Health apart is the fact that it is owned and managed by actively practicing physicians. As a result, decisions critical to patient care are made by physicians who are on the front lines treating patients. This allows the hospital to move quickly to bring necessary technologies and high quality healthcare into our community. Most importantly, the rapid and tremendous growth at DHR Health and its successes are a reflection of the continued dedication and support of its partners, employees, and medical staff members.
