Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White, the state’s largest nonprofit health system serving 3 million Texans, said Thursday it will co-own the urgent care sites and expand into Houston and San Antonio.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
According to a press release on Thursday, the organizations will work on brand and digital integration in the coming months.
Baylor Scott & White reported net income of $1.05 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to $680 million a year earlier.
Urgent care is becoming an increasingly competitive market in Texas. Nashville, Tennessee-based HCA Healthcare announced the NextCare deal in May, outlining plans to buy 19 FastMed urgent care locations and 22 MedPost centers this summer in several markets across Texas, including Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston and San Antonio.
