About Peterson Health

What started as a single hospital in 1949 has expanded to 18 rooftops spanning nine counties, each united with a singular purpose to elevate the health of our community.

Peterson Regional Medical Center, our flagship hospital, is a 124-bed, nonprofit hospital located in Kerrville. This hub of our health network began a legacy of exceptional, compassionate, patient-centered care – forming the foundation of Peterson’s vision to offer world-class care, today, tomorrow, and always.

The Peterson Health Team

As the largest employer in Kerr County, we are home to more than 1,200 full time employees and 250 medical professionals. We are thankful for the dedication of individuals who see healthcare as their calling. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed both here at home and on a national scale. Named Best Places to Work by Modern Healthcare three years in a row is a testament to the environment we’ve created for our team.

The main Peterson Health campus in Kerrville offers 26 key service lines, including the Emergency Department, Acute Rehabilitation Unit, The Baby Place (Texas Ten Step designated maternity unit), Women’s Services, Intensive Care Unit, Heart and Vascular Clinic, seven surgical suites, and an award-winning joint replacement program, “Back to Life.”

The neighboring Pevehouse Ambulatory Care Center offers outpatient surgical services, radiology, imaging, labs, outpatient rehabilitation, and an advanced Wound Healing Center featuring two hyperbaric oxygen chambers.

Our footprint continues to expand in neighboring counties to include primary care clinics in Bandera, Comfort, and Fredericksburg, as well as an outpatient rehabilitation clinic in Comfort. We have no intention of stopping there, and will continue to discover new opportunities to provide world-class care to the Texas Hill Country at large.

Dedicated to Patient Experience and Quality

Elevating Health is our commitment, and that dedication has earned many regional and national awards, including the highest distinction as a Top 20 Rural Community Hospital – the ONLY one in Texas. This honor elevated Peterson Health’s status in the healthcare arena on a national scale, serving as a benchmark for other rural hospitals as they strive to navigate the future of healthcare.

Although proud of numerous awards and accolades, we never lose focus on the real mission to provide the best patient experience and quality outcomes across all services.
