DHR Health was founded in 1997 by a visionary group of local physicians and business leaders to address the healthcare challenges and disparities faced by the people of the Rio Grande Valley, a region in deep South Texas that has been historically underserved, lacking access to healthcare resources found in major metropolitan areas.
Today, DHR Health stands as one of the largest physician-owned hospital systems in the United States. The health system has expanded access to world-class, comprehensive care through six inpatient facilities and more than 80 outpatient clinics. Serving a diverse community of over 1.5 million residents, DHR Health is powered by a medical staff of over 625 physicians, 235 advanced practice providers, and 1,800 nursing professionals among its 6,200 employees, offering access to more than 70 medical specialties and subspecialties throughout the region.
Headquartered in Edinburg, Texas, DHR Health is committed to serving Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron, and Willacy counties. Recent expansions include the development of a new Medical Campus in Starr County, designed to expand access to primary and specialty healthcare services, advance clinical research, and train the next generation of physicians through the region’s first Family Medicine Residency Graduate Medical Education Program. Additionally, major projects include the opening of a new hospital in Brownsville and the upcoming Behavioral Health Hospital in Pharr, built in partnership with the City of Pharr and the State of Texas.
