Seton Medical Center is the largest medical/surgical acute care center in Austin. One of four Magnet hospitals in the SETON Healthcare Network, Seton Medical Center offers comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for both inpatients and outpatients and regional specialty programs including the Seton Heart Center, Shivers Cancer Programs and the Marialice Shivers Regional Neonatal Center.

Licensed for 502 beds, Seton Medical Center is undergoing a $50 million expansion project to meet the needs of the growing community. Seton Medical Center's Carroll Emergency Center, Surgical Services and Admitting areas will expand. In addition, the North and South lobbies will have new looks, and the chapel will be completely renovated. Construction is expected to be complete by 2005.

Seton Medical Center is part of the SETON Healthcare Network, which began 100 years ago with the opening of the original Seton Infirmary.
