Reflecting on a Year of Progress at Ascension Seton

As the year draws to a close, we want to pause and celebrate the remarkable strides made at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin, Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas at Austin, and the Ascension Seton Foundation. Your unwavering support has helped advance medical excellence and transform the healthcare landscape right here at home.

Here are just a few of the achievements you made possible this year with your support:

1. Neurocritical Care Expansion: In 2024, Dell Seton expanded the first and only Neurocritical Care Unit in Central Texas, offering advanced, multidisciplinary care to patients with the most complex and acute neurological conditions.

2. Comprehensive Transplant Support: The new Adult Abdominal Transplant Center at Dell Seton provides seamless, integrated care—before, during, and after transplantation—under one roof, ensuring every patient receives compassionate, coordinated treatment.

3. Recognized Breast Care Excellence: The Breast Care Center at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin earned accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), making it the only NAPBC-accredited program in Central Texas. Patients now have access to nationally recognized, comprehensive breast care right here at home.

4. Innovative Cancer Surgery: A surgeon at Dell Seton successfully completed a cutting-edge surgical technique to remove an entire cancerous tumor from a patient’s esophagus, demonstrating our dedication to innovative treatments and improved outcomes for patients facing critical conditions.

5. Women First Campaign Milestone: The Ascension Seton Foundation surpassed the halfway point for the Women First Campaign, which is raising vital funds for the new Women’s Tower at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a beacon of hope and healing for women and their families.

Your generosity and partnership have been instrumental in driving these achievements, allowing us to provide unparalleled care, launch groundbreaking initiatives, and look confidently toward the future of women’s health, critical care, and beyond.

As we step into the new year, we remain deeply grateful for your commitment to providing healthcare for all–no matter what. Thank you for helping us deliver on our promise to our community each and every day.
