Georgetown, Texas – St. David’s Georgetown Hospital is set to enhance its healthcare offerings with the addition of a fifth operating room later this year. This expansion is a significant part of a broader initiative aimed at improving healthcare services in Georgetown, a city recognized for its rapid growth and increasing healthcare demands.
In conjunction with the new operating room, the hospital has expanded its specialized cardiac care services to better serve the local community. Notably, a new outpatient cardiovascular imaging center will be introduced alongside a cardiac catheterization lab. The latter facility will enable the hospital to perform minimally invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures, enhancing the level of care available to patients experiencing cardiovascular issues.
The outpatient cardiovascular imaging center will feature three ultrasound rooms designated for performing ultrasounds and echocardiograms. This expansion allows residents access to specialized heart care in their local area, eliminating the need for travel to larger cities for these essential services. Physicians from Austin Heart will be available at the hospital to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac conditions.
Local Healthcare Expansion
Georgetown is witnessing a surge in healthcare service expansion, largely due to its status as one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Recent developments in the area reflect a collective effort by various healthcare providers to accommodate the rising population and demand for services.
Significant expansions are underway by other key healthcare providers in the Georgetown region, including Lone Star Circle of Care, Ascension, and Baylor Scott & White. Lone Star Circle of Care offers a wide array of health services, which encompass behavioral care, dental care, family medicine, and pediatric services. Meanwhile, Ascension Seton has recently opened a special care facility, providing essential services like dermatology, surgery, and orthopedics since August 2025.
Baylor Scott & White is also in the process of enlarging one of its local facilities by adding an additional 15,000 square feet. This expansion will introduce new specialties to their services, such as ophthalmology and gastroenterology. Furthermore, St. David’s Hospital is extending its Leander location from an emergency room into a full-service hospital, with completion expected by 2025.
Recognition for Quality Healthcare
All hospitals within the St. David’s Healthcare network in the Austin area have recently been honored with the Healthgrades 2024 America’s 250 Best Hospitals Award. This recognition highlights the superior performance of these hospitals in providing quality healthcare services, further emphasizing the commitment of St. David’s Georgetown Hospital to enhance patient care through its latest expansions.
Overall, the addition of a fifth operating room and advancements in cardiac care services at St. David’s Georgetown Hospital, alongside the broader healthcare expansions in the area, reflect a proactive approach to meet the growing healthcare needs of the community. These initiatives demonstrate a concerted effort to elevate healthcare standards and availability for Georgetown residents.
