How Austin families actually use this
Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, at 1500 Red River Street, is the region's Level I trauma centre and the Dell Medical School teaching hospital. For major trauma, that is where an Austin senior is most likely to go.
Three systems cover the metro more broadly: Ascension Seton, St. David's HealthCare with more than 180 sites including Round Rock and Georgetown, and Baylor Scott & White with campuses in Austin, Round Rock and Pflugerville.
Which system a parent lands in shapes what comes next, because discharge planners work from system-preferred post-acute lists. Those lists are built for placement speed rather than fit, so treat them as a starting point rather than a recommendation.
