In 1989, the credit union merged with Texas Hospital Association Credit Union, Texas National Guard Credit Union and Healthcare Federal Credit Union, allowing it to expand its FOM to include hospitals, hospital affiliates and select employer groups in the growing membership base by the time the name changed to United Heritage Federal Credit Union in 1993.
