When people talk about healthcare, the conversation often centers on technology, treatments, and facilities. While those things matter, true healthcare is built on trust. At Peterson Health, local care is not just about where services are located. It is about trusted relationships, familiarity, and being present for our community every single day.
For generations, Peterson Health has been rooted in the Hill Country. We live here, raise our families here, and share the same values as the patients we serve. That shared foundation creates trust and shapes everything we do, from the way care is delivered to the way decisions are made.
Care You Know and Trust
Trusted care often starts with familiarity. Seeing caregivers you recognize, working with physicians who know your history, and feeling confident in the team caring for you makes a meaningful difference during vulnerable moments. We believe trust is built through listening, clear communication, and compassion. Patients deserve to feel informed and supported at every step, whether they are coming in for a routine visit or navigating a more complex health concern.
Close to Home, Close to the Heart
Having care close to home provides more than convenience. It provides reassurance. When healthcare is nearby and delivered by people you trust, patients are more likely to seek care early, ask questions, and stay engaged in their health journey. Local access paired with trusted relationships allows families to feel confident that they are receiving the right care, at the right time, from the right people.
Trust That Extends Beyond One Visit
Trusted care does not begin and end with an appointment. It continues through follow-ups, conversations, and long-term relationships. It is built over time through consistency and the knowledge that your care team is investing in your wellbeing. Many of our patients trust Peterson Health not only for themselves, but for their loved ones as well. That trust is something we value deeply and work every day to honor.
Rooted in Community, Committed to Care
Caring for the Hill Country goes far beyond hospital walls. We believe trust grows when care is visible, accessible, and connected to everyday life in our community. That is why our teams regularly engage with the community through health education and wellness initiatives, including educational classes at the Dietert Center and Emerald Cottages that meet people where they are and provide practical information to support healthier lives.
We also bring the community together through events like our annual 5K and 10K races, encouraging movement, prevention, and connection while supporting heart health and overall wellness. These events are more than races, they are opportunities to build relationships and reinforce the importance of proactive care.
Our commitment to trusted, local care also extends to partnerships with area organizations such as Schreiner University, where we work alongside student-athletes to support their health, performance, and long-term wellbeing. By collaborating with local institutions, we invest in the health of today’s community and tomorrow’s leaders.
A Promise to Our Neighbors
Trusted care is built on relationships, consistency, and compassion. It is the foundation of local care and the promise we make to our neighbors, to show up, to listen, and to care deeply. That promise is carried out every day through the people we serve, the partnerships we build, and the community we are proud to call home.
