Healthcare in Round Rock
Round Rock has genuine hospital-system depth of its own, not just proximity to Austin's healthcare institutions -- St. David's Round Rock Medical Center is a Level II Trauma Center with a dedicated cardiac facility, and Baylor Scott & White operates its own Round Rock hospital, giving residents real in-city options for most routine and specialty care.

Learn moreSt. David's Round Rock Medical Center
St. David's Round Rock Medical Center is a 209-bed facility and Level II Trauma Center offering cardiothoracic and vascular care, trauma, neurosurgery, advanced stroke care, cancer care, orthopedics, and robotics, per St. David's HealthCare's own facility information reviewed August 2026. It also houses the Heart Hospital of Austin at St. David's Round Rock, cited as the first specialized cardiac facility in Williamson County to offer open-heart, thoracic, and vascular surgery along with complex catheterization and electrophysiology procedures, plus a NICU, women's programs, comprehensive breast imaging, and dedicated cancer-care and inpatient-rehabilitation units.
Baylor Scott & White and Ascension Seton Williamson
Baylor Scott & White operates a 101-bed hospital in Round Rock with an extensive outpatient network across the city and Williamson County covering more than 40 specialties, including a freestanding cancer center -- part of the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas. Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital, also serving the area, is a full-service hospital with its own Level II Trauma Center and 24/7 emergency care. Together with St. David's, this gives Round Rock genuine multi-system hospital depth in the city itself, not purely reliance on facilities in Austin.
What This Means for Access Today
Round Rock's current hospital-system depth -- St. David's Round Rock, Baylor Scott & White Round Rock, and Ascension Seton Williamson, each with trauma-center-level capability -- gives residents real in-city choice for most routine and specialty care, plus straightforward access to Austin's deeper academic-medicine bench (Ascension Seton/Dell Seton, Dell Children's, UT's expanding Dell Medical School) via the roughly 20-minute drive south. The honest caveat: this describes system-level facts, not individual insurance-network participation, out-of-pocket costs, or wait times for specific specialties, which vary by plan and should be confirmed directly with a provider or insurer before relying on them for a relocation decision.
Key takeaways
- St. David's Round Rock Medical Center is a 209-bed, Level II Trauma Center that also houses the Heart Hospital of Austin at St. David's Round Rock -- Williamson County's first specialized cardiac surgical facility.
- Baylor Scott & White operates a 101-bed Round Rock hospital with 40+ specialties and a freestanding cancer center; Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital adds a second Level II Trauma Center in the area.
- Round Rock has genuine in-city hospital depth across three systems, distinct from simply relying on Austin's facilities -- while still sitting a short drive from Austin's deeper academic-medicine bench (Dell Seton, Dell Children's, UT's expanding Dell Medical School).
- System-level facility facts don't substitute for confirming individual insurance-network participation, costs, or specialty wait times directly with a provider or insurer.
