"We are thrilled to expand our presence in Texas, and we believe it will enhance our care and better serve our patients."
The buildup will include hospitals in the Dallas Fort-Worth, Houston, San Antonio, in partnership with Methodist Healthcare Ministries, and two hospitals in the Austin area in partnership with St. David's Foundation and Georgetown Health Foundation.
