University Health Wheatley Clinic and Vida Clinic Break Ground in San Antonio, Bringing Advanced Healthcare Services Closer to Home

Recently, the University Health Wheatley clinic was broken ground in San Antonio. This medical complex is a three-story, 60,000-square-foot facility that will provide primary care, urgent care, and pharmacy services. Additionally, it will serve as a secondary location for the University Hospital’s Institute for Public Health. The construction of this clinic received support from Bexar County Commissioners Court, which allocated $40 million from the American Recovery Act Plan to fund the expansion.

The goal of this new location is to improve access to care by bringing advanced technologies, specialists, and health education resources closer to home for many families in the area. The Vida clinic also broke ground in December 2023 as part of University Health’s expansion efforts. George B. Hernandez Jr., the president and CEO of University Health, expressed excitement about these projects and their potential to benefit the community. Precinct 4 County Commissioner Tommy Calvert praised these initiatives for their dedication to improving the health of the East Side community and thanked those involved in making them happen.

These expansion projects demonstrate University Health’s commitment to providing quality healthcare services to a growing population in San Antonio. These initiatives are aimed at increasing access to care and promoting overall wellness in the community. As more families have access to quality healthcare services, they can focus on other aspects of their lives such as education and economic opportunities.
