The City of Brownsville and DHR Health announced a new public-private partnership to expand DHR Health Brownsville, marking a major investment in local healthcare and economic development. City and hospital leaders described the agreement as a shared effort to improve access to medical services while creating new jobs and strengthening the city’s growing medical sector.
Under the agreement, DHR Health will invest approximately $17 million to expand the hospital, while the City of Brownsville will provide a $2 million incentive through a Chapter 380 grant agreement. The project includes a 14,000-square-foot expansion and is expected to create about 20 new high-paying healthcare jobs.
Dr. Carlos J. Cardenas, chairman of the DHR Health Board, emphasized the collaborative nature of the effort. “I can’t think of greater things that happen than when public officials, healthcare officials, and folks come together, and we form public-private partnerships, and that’s really what we’re here to celebrate today,” he said.
City leaders said the expansion will enhance a range of medical services, including emergency care, surgical services, radiology, and catheterization. The goal, they said, is to provide more care options closer to home for residents of Brownsville and Cameron County.
