San Antonio, TX – People living in Schertz and surrounding communities will have greater access to surgical and specialty care with the development of the Schertz Medical Building, which will include an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and Medical Office Building (MOB). Construction has begun on the building, which is located off of IH-35 and Schertz Parkway at 17766 Verde Parkway. Once completed, the Schertz Medical Building will consist of 52,000 square feet of space. It is being developed by a partnership of physicians.
“Our aim with this project is to bring critical medical services to the Schertz community so people living and working here don’t have to travel outside of the area for their care,” said Sonny Cavazos, MD, one of the building developers. “Being close to home when medical care is needed is important to patients and their families, and this project makes that a reality.”
The ASC is a joint venture between United Surgical Partners International (USPI) and a group of physician investors. USPI operates the largest ambulatory platform in the country and is a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare, parent company of Baptist Health System. The ASC will have three operating rooms and one procedure room, and will focus initially on musculoskeletal surgeries, expanding to additional surgical specialties over time.
“We are excited to bring this type of surgical expertise to the Schertz community,” said Jill Finke, USPI’s Regional Vice President of Operations in Schertz and other communities. “In our more than 440 locations across the country, we strive to deliver high-quality, lower-cost solutions in collaboration with like-minded institutions and physicians.”
The MOB will occupy 40,000 square feet of space and will provide clinical office space for physicians and surgeons, some of whom will practice at the ASC. Initial tenants in the building include Baptist Medical Network (BMN) physician practices specializing in orthopedics, colorectal, general surgery and urology.
