UT Health San Antonio

What UT Health San Antonio does

UT Health San Antonio is the academic health science center of The University of Texas at San Antonio, a public institution within the UT System founded in 1959 (per firmographic data; company profile lists 1969). It integrates six health professional schools — Long School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Nursing, School of Health Professions, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Kate Marmion School of Public Health — with a multi-site clinical enterprise that conducts approximately 2.5 million patient visits annually across South Texas. The institution completed full integration with UT San Antonio in 2026, unifying academic, research, and clinical operations. Its market position is anchored by the Mays Cancer Center (the only NCI-designated cancer center in South Texas, maintained since 1991, one of only four in Texas), the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases (first NIA-designated Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in Texas), and the Center for Brain Health (housing Texas' first Siemens 7-Tesla Terra.X MRI scanner). It is the only UT System hospital in the region and operates the new $472 million, 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital.

The technology stack combines advanced clinical assets — 7-Tesla MRI, navigated TMS for PTSD (showing 85% symptom relief), and AI-powered remote patient monitoring integrated with Epic EHR through MyChart Bedside — with a research-grade computing platform, THOR: The Neuromorphic Commons (an NSF-funded open-access SpiNNaker2 system with ~400,000 processing elements). Active research programs include the $38 million VITAL-H longevity clinical trial (rapamycin, semaglutide, dapagliflozin in 700-1,000 adults aged 60-65), $9 million NIH TMJ pain study, and ongoing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cancer trials. AI capabilities span process automation, generative AI (deployed system-wide through the UT System partnership), and predictive analytics. Revenue is generated through clinical services, federal and foundation research grants (NIH, CPRIT, DOD, Alzheimer's Association), tuition and fees from the six professional schools, and philanthropic donations, with the geographic customer base distributed across 38 South Texas counties.
