What TCHATT does

UT Health San Antonio (The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) is a public academic health center founded in 1969 and part of the University of Texas System. It operates six health professional schools — medicine, dentistry, nursing, health professions, biomedical sciences, and public health — alongside a clinical enterprise that conducts approximately 2.5 million patient visits annually across a 38-county South Texas service area. The institution holds an NCI Cancer Center designation (continuously since 1991) and is the first NIA-designated Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in Texas, and it operates the Mays Cancer Center in partnership with MD Anderson.

The underlying technology stack centers on an Epic electronic health record paired with a MyChart patient portal and regional health information exchange integration, supporting clinical operations, telehealth, and population health outreach. The clinical footprint was expanded in 2023 with the opening of the UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital and a Kyle Seale Parkway outpatient surgery center, alongside emerging diagnostic AI applications such as AI-assisted colonoscopy for enhanced polyp detection.

Revenue is generated from a mix of clinical services billed to public and commercial payers, tuition across the six professional schools, federally funded research grants from agencies including NIH, NCI, and NIA, and philanthropic giving (notably a $30M gift to the Kate Marmion School of Public Health and a $5M gift to the Biggs Institute). Leadership of a $38M national healthspan trial further signals growing external research funding. The institution is undergoing structural integration with The University of Texas at San Antonio to broaden combined academic, research, and clinical scale.
