Mission Statement
Rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus as healer, we commit ourselves to serving all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. Our Catholic health ministry is dedicated to spiritually-centered, holistic care which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities. We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words. All services are provided without regard to religious beliefs or other discriminating factors. Community leaders fundraised $5,000 to bring the Daughters of the Charity to Austin in 1902 to start Austin’s first hospital - a 40-bed infirmary for the poor. Since its founding, Ascension Seton has expanded access to high-quality, low-cost, person-centered medical care and services. Over the last century, Ascension Seton has grown from one hospital to a network of 15 hospitals, including four teaching hospitals, and 250 primary care and specialty clinical locations across Central Texas. Ascension Seton employs over 16,000 and is a major contributor to the Central Texas economy. The Ascension Seton Foundation works with our philanthropic community to support Ascension Seton's Central Austin adult facilities, including Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (ASMCA), Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, and Ascension Seton Shoal Creek Hospital.
