Greater Hill Country Healthcare Alliance (GHCHA) is a comprehensive network of two (2) acute care hospitals with ancillary facilities, over 200 physicians and other health professionals through the two Member Organizations and GHCHA. GHCHA Member Organizations (or GHCHA Affiliates) are Hill Country Regional Health Network physicians and Hill Country Memorial in Fredericksburg AND Peterson Regional Health Care Network physicians and Peterson Regional Medical Center in Kerrville. The GHCHA Affiliates formed this regional alliance in 1997 as a proactive response to the rapidly changing health insurance market and federal/state legislation.

The joint effort helps local residents in the GHCHA Service Area retain the ability to choose their local doctors and hospitals for their health care needs, despite restrictions often imposed by insurance plans. By uniting the medical communities of Fredericksburg and Kerrville, our alliance can now work together as a team, pooling resources, to better survive the ever-changing legislative and managed care issues. As representatives of the Texas medical community, serving fourteen (14) counties in the Texas hill country, GHCHA health care providers have taken the initiative to maintain and enhance a regional delivery of health care ... from a true community approach.
