Description
CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System is about people. People we meet
and care for; people whose lives we enhance, and those whose lives
we save. CHRISTUS is about the people who work here: our
award-winning medical staff, dedicated housekeeping staff,
compassionate nurses and patient-focused ancillary staff. We're
about people who need us, from small bumps to massive trauma, no
matter their economic bracket. We're about the people of San
Antonio, New Braunfels, and all the South Texas communities we
serve. Since 1869, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System has grown and
flourished just as South Texas has grown. We remain the only

and New Braunfels. Our healing ministry now includes five

specialty centers.
