Methodist Healthcare System has acquired 18 Texas MedClinic urgent care clinics in San Antonio, the hospital system announced on Monday. 
The system is funded through a 50-50 partnership between Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, a local nonprofit focused on health equity, and HCA Healthcare, a Nashville-based healthcare company. 
HCA Healthcare has also acquired new urgent care clinics in Houston and Austin in addition to San Antonio. 
“Texas MedClinic has been an important part of the San Antonio community for decades, and we’re proud to build on that legacy,” Dan Miller, president and CEO of Methodist Healthcare, said in a news release. 
“By bringing these locations into the Methodist Healthcare family, we’re creating a more connected healthcare experience while ensuring patients have access to the care they need, close to home.” 
Texas MedClinic was founded in 1982 in San Antonio. 
The network was previously bought by Community Care Partners in 2022, a private-equity funded health group. 
There will be no change to accepted insurance, billing or clinic hours as a result of the ownership change, according to the Methodist news release. 
Most of the clinics are open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, with a handful across the city operating 24 hours a day. 
A list of the newly-acquired clinics can be found below.
