In 2021, University Health purchased 42.5 acres in Selma for $11.6 million to be used for a new hospital that will be located at the corner of Lookout Road and Retama Parkway. The new hospital is one of three new hospitals in the San Antonio area being developed and built by the system. University Health ocials said the goal for the system is to create a wagon wheel-type system in which University Hospital, located in the South Texas Medical Center, will be the hub while the three new hospitals will serve as “supports or spokes” on the outskirts of the city. While the new Selma hospital is not expected to break ground until the end of 2023, University Health named it University Health Retama Hospital. The hospital will feature an emergency depart- ment, operating rooms and imaging—including X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, mammography and ultrasounds. Laboratory services and inpatient facilities will be provided for all major hospital-related treat- ments for adults and children, such as labor and delivery, the neonatal intensive care unit, general

medicine and surgery, orthopedics, heart care, vascular services, neurology, and gastroenterology. Marmon Mok Architecture and ESA Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Inc. are working to design and engineer the hospital and a medical oce that will be adjacent to the building. Layton Construction will be the construction manager for the project. The anticipated completion date for the hospital and medical oce building is late 2026. Hospital ocials said the expansion is due to the increased population and patient capacity at University Hospital—which is the system’s only hospital—and the new hospital will reduce the travel time for patients near the Selma area. The new hospitals will also help alleviate patient intake at University Hospital as it will give commu- nities around San Antonio more local options for health care. The Selma hospital will be one of the nal pieces of development for the city as it approaches build- out over the next 10-15 years, and alongside the hospital, ancillary oces will be developed to oer additional medical services in the area.

The new Methodist Plaza II is expected to be completed in July.

Kellum Schertz Medical Center’s rst building was completed in 2022.

Medicine, which was formerly located in a building next door to the new center. The former location will house a new health care provider. Led by Dr. Daniel Kellum Jr., the new medical oce oers a range of medical, health and wellness services that include behavioral health care, treatment for minor illnesses and chronic conditions, routine health exams, weight management and more. The cost of the medical center is estimated at up to $40 million, funded through a public-private partnership.

Five new buildings are planned for the Kellum-Schertz Medical Center project, which opened its rst building in August 2022. The project team, DK2 Develop- ment LLC, is led by Darrell Keller, senior vice president of DH Realty Partners Inc. The project is a mix of oces, a surgery center/medical oce and an ER. Other buildings are expected to break ground in 2023. Once complete, oces will be leased to health care providers. Building A is the largest building in the roughly 90,000-square-foot space and houses Kellum Family
