"Just being alive is a gift!" ✨

We are celebrating an incredible milestone with 14-year-old Miguel. Having received the life-saving gift of a kidney at the University Health Transplant Institute 12 years ago, Miguel is now dedicated to giving back.

Last year, he collected toys for the pediatric patients of the kidney and dialysis clinic, sharing: "I know what it’s like to go through medical challenges and seeing their smiles reminds me why this is so important." ❤️

Miguel's resilience, his commitment to school and community service shines brightly. Join us in celebrating Miguel and the amazing care transplant team who made this second chance possible!

What an inspiring day! San Antonio stepped up to host the biggest Congenital Heart Walk in the country, with a turnout that truly moved us.

Watching more than 1,100 walkers—from dedicated medical teams to families proudly led by “heart warriors” like Little George Ramirez, Jr.—push strollers and carry banners was a powerful reminder of the resilience in our community. Every step raised awareness for the medical advancements that allow children like George, Jr. to thrive.

University Health is honored to sponsor this vital event. Together, we raised over $80,000! This funding will continue to support the research that is helping these children grow strong.

You'd never know by looking at him, but 7-week-old Charlie Wilkerson came into this world with a life-threatening heart defect. His two main arteries were in the wrong positions, requiring immediate surgery.

Thanks to incredible research and a talented pediatric heart surgeon at University Health, Charlie's heart is repaired! ❤️

Charlie's parents are now paying it forward! 🙏They're walking this Sunday at the San Antonio Congenital Heart Walk (sponsored by University Health) to help fund new treatments.🚶‍♀️Keep an eye out for Charlie—the happy baby with the "beauty mark" from his surgery and a huge smile!💙

When Charlie Treviño, who has diabetes, walked into our new Limb Salvage Clinic with a serious foot ulcer, he was terrified of amputation. He became our first patient at the Texas Diabetes Institute, looking for hope.

He received advanced wound care and a complete cardiology evaluation, because diabetes often leads to heart disease. The checkup led to Charlie’s life-saving heart bypass surgery. That’s also improving the blood flow in his leg which is helping to heal his foot. 💖

What Charlie got was a miracle—because our teams don't just treat symptoms; they treat the whole person: https://ow.ly/94XB50XfRpL.

Great news for the East Side! University Health Wheatley is now OPEN! 🎉🎉🎉

The East Side community turned out in force to ‘say hello’ to the new University Health Wheatley at a ribbon-cutting and open house. It was a day to celebrate not just a building, but a new commitment to local patient care for those who live and work nearby.

As President and CEO Ed Banos noted, "Our mission meets people where they are." This new center makes that vision a reality. It conveniently connects residents to all the care and resources they need—from primary and urgent care to a full-service pharmacy and specialists—all integrated within the University Health system.

Guests enjoyed tours of the state-of-the-art facility, free flu shots and creating art with our incredible SaludArte: Art of Healing program, which features stunning work from local artists Reginald Adams, Sabra Booth, Kaldric Dow, Barbara Felix, Deborah Harris and Rhonda Radford. The 18th-century-inspired quill pen and paper quilting activities were a fun nod to the center's namesake, Phillis Wheatley, the first African American to publish a book of poetry.

Located at 3860 IH-10 East, Wheatley is a major milestone in our system-wide expansion. Share this post to help us spread the word about this high-quality medical care now available right here on the East Side! Services, including urgent care, pharmacy and primary care are open starting today. Learn more: https://ow.ly/zQ6K50Xf4AY.

Three kids just got their ‘fresh start!’ 🥹 This past weekend, three incredible children received the gift of a lifetime, and the smiles on their faces are absolutely priceless. ❤️

University Health partnered with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts to provide three kids with completely free, life-changing surgery and related medical care!

👶 Mia, 9 months old, traveled from Mexico, had surgery for craniosynostosis, a serious condition affecting skull and brain growth.
👦 Gabriel, 9, traveled from Fort Worth to have a growth removed from above his eye.
👦 Caleb, 10, from San Antonio, received ear reshaping surgery (otoplasty) to improve his comfort and confidence.

We are so honored to be part of an effort that helps children with physical deformities live full, happy and confident lives. It's more than just surgery—it's a new beginning. Want to help transform a child's life?
