Texas Children's Hospital North Austin has opened its doors, becoming the second hospital for children to open in North Austin in the past year.
Families in the North Austin area now have another option to seek medical treatment for their kids: Texas Children’s Hospital North Austin. Outpatient services at the hospital’s onsite pediatric clinic opened on Monday, and inpatient hospital services are set to begin on Feb. 20.
Russ Williams, senior vice president of Texas Children’s Hospital North Austin, said the hospital’s site near the intersection of Highways 45 and 183 was selected for its proximity to rapidly growing neighborhoods in the Austin metro area. For many suburban residents, the addition of Dell Children’s North shortened the length of time it takes to get to an emergency facility outfitted for children's needs considerably.
“I was shocked to see them so close; it’s literally just a few intersections away,” Yagur said. “I would think it’s logical to have it in a different part of town and keep those things a little bit spread out for other families.”
