San Antonio (Spanish for "Saint Anthony") is the seventh most populous city in the U.S. and the second most populous city in Texas, with a population of 1.3 million. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000-2010. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south–central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.
Located in the suburb of Live Oak, Northeast Methodist Hospital is a 153-bed facility serving the healthcare needs of the surrounding Randolph Metrocom community of northeast San Antonio. Conveniently located off of Interstate 35 and Judson Road (San Antonio to Austin corridor), Northeast Methodist Hospital has developed an array of services to meet the health care needs of the surrounding community for the past 20 years. Services include emergency care for adults and children, open heart surgery, cardiac catherization, general surgery, orthopedics, rehabilitation, gastroenterology, behavioral medicine and cancer care.
The hospital is one of the fastest growing cardiology programs in South Texas; an additional catherization lab and expanded CICU beds were recently added to keep up with the demands of cardiology patients.
There is a medical office building directly beside the campus and the Northeast Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Center is adjacent to the hospital.
