University Health has paid $71 million to buy Christus Santa Rosa Hospital, which has been closed since April. Christus officials said the San Antonio facility had become outdated.

The hospital anchors a 45-acre campus that also includes two medical office buildings and a multistory parking structure. The San Antonio Business Journal reports that University Health plans to spend another $20 million on equipment and funding renovations of the nearly 40-year-old hospital. The plan is to develop the hospital campus as an inpatient and ambulatory care center, while moving non-critical services out of its main hospital.

The decision comes as University Health continues work on a pair of new hospitals — one in South San Antonio and the other in Selma — as demand for care continues to spike.
