First in Texas to use new non-opioid painkiller after surgery
We are transforming health care in Texas by being the first to offer suzetrigine, a new FDA-approved, non-opioid pain medication. This innovative option helps relieve pain after surgery without the risks associated with opioids - helping our patients recover comfortably and safely.

Awarded accreditation from The Joint Commission
We have earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for hospital accreditation, demonstrating our dedication to the best care practices and compliance with stringent performance standards.
