Living Near the South Texas Medical Center: A Neighborhood Guide

What Is the South Texas Medical Center? 

The South Texas Medical Center is a district of roughly 900 acres in Northwest San Antonio. It includes more than 75 medical institutions and about a dozen hospitals, along with research centers, clinics, and medical offices. It’s one of the largest employment hubs in the city, and it’s right in Valor Hill’s backyard.
