Baylor Scott & White operates a 25-bed hospital at 2600 E Pflugerville Pkwy with a 24/7 emergency department (Level IV trauma center), inpatient acute care, imaging and diagnostic radiology (including interventional radiology and cardiology), and surgical services spanning bariatric weight-loss surgery, orthopedic surgery, and gastroenterology, per Healthgrades and the health system's own location listings reviewed August 2026. A co-located outpatient clinic adds cardiology, dermatology, general surgery, infectious disease, orthopedics, urology, and women's health. Healthgrades cites a 94% patient willingness-to-recommend rate for the hospital.
Nearby St. David's HealthCare Network Access
For care beyond what the Pflugerville facility's Level IV trauma designation covers, residents have real, short-drive access to a broader network: St. David's Surgical Hospital and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Round Rock (both about 6 miles), St. David's Children's Hospital and St. David's North Austin Medical Center (about 7 miles), and St. David's Round Rock Medical Center (about 8 miles), per Healthgrades provider-distance data. This is meaningfully closer than needing to travel into central Austin for most specialty or higher-acuity needs.
What This Means for Access Today
The combination of an in-city community hospital plus a short drive to St. David's multi-campus network gives Pflugerville residents real, practical access to both routine and most specialty care without requiring a drive into central Austin for everything. As with any city covered in this build, this describes system-level facility access, not individual insurance-network participation, out-of-pocket costs, or wait times for specific specialties -- confirm those directly with a provider or insurer before relying on this page for a relocation decision.
What Was Not Independently Confirmed
