Dell Children’s Medical Center Opens in Austin
I wanted to attend the open house at Seton’s Dell Children’s Medical Center yesterday, but couldn’t make it. As you may remember, I was in a wreck a few weeks ago on IH35 and it turns out that the insurance company totaled my car. I’d love to recount the woes of that situation, including having three days to purchase a replacement car. Like a bad relationship, I have already moved on. 
Anyway, I’m excited about the children’s hospital because of so many reasons that it’s hard to write them all down. Although it’s sad to think about sick children, it’s very heartwarming to know that Austin, Dell and Seton will play a part in helping many kids get better. Seton even donated a piece of adjacent land to the Ronald McDonald House, which provides shelter for families of the children who have longer stays.
THE POSITIVE IMPACT
- The Dell Children’s Medical Center will be the largest of it’s kind Central Texas.
- The hospital was green built and will continue to cherish our environment in future efforts.
- Austin will attract even more high-quality physicians and staff to this east central location.
- This medical center is only the start in the goal for Austin and University of Texas to have a stronger stake in the biomedical research industry. UT’s medical research facility will be completed in the next few years.
By the way, if you didn’t know about the upcoming biomedical research facility at Mueller Austin, you should keep up with this blog!
The Statesman provided great detail and nice pictures of the hospital itself. It’s actually pretty modern and welcoming. Seton will soon consolidate their offices to this location, so their staff will be together in a central location.
