South Texas Institutes of Health – A South Texas Non-Profit Organization

"We envisioned South Texas Institutes of Health as a unique organization which, by addressing the special needs of our region, truly existed to be an asset to the community."

Dr. Steven M. Stoltz

Is STxIH a clinic, or just a non-profit organization? We are a non-profit organization with the capacity to perform our own clinical exams and services, as well as collaborate with like-minded partners.
