Texas has approximately 583 hospitals, with about 81,009 beds (as of 2009). Many hospitals offer a full range of acute-care services, while larger facilities often provide a higher level of care (tertiary) to more severely ill or injured patients. In addition, Texas has a number of specialty providers, including:

  • Pediatric (children’s) hospitals;
  • Psychiatric (mental health) hospitals;
  • Rehabilitation hospitals;
  • Long-term acute-care hospitals (for ventilator dependent and others with chronic conditions that require a higher level of care indefinitely); and
  • Specialty hospitals (such as those that treat heart, cancer or bone problems).
