Scott & White Hospital - Round Rock Fundraising goal: $10 million The phenomenal growth of the Austin metropolitan area, including Williamson and northern Travis counties, precipitated the need for a planned expansion of Scott & White Healthcare - Round Rock. To date, we’ve completed a $36 million, 58,000-square-foot expansion project to meet the growing demand for patient services. It includes 26 more intensive care unit beds, four new operating suites, an endoscopy suite, and eight additional emergency room beds. The 68-acre healthcare facility includes a primary care clinic, maternity services, multiple specialty clinics, and a full-service, 101-bed hospital. Scott & White Healthcare - Round Rock needs additional expansion, as care increasingly shifts toward the outpatient environment. Also, we must satisfy the need to care for patients who require more subspecialty services. Areas of continued expansion include the creation of a cancer center, a cardiac catheterization lab, and a Level II neonatal intensive care unit. Cancer Center Enhanced oncology services will be available at the new state-ofthe-art cancer center, staffed by multidisciplinary teams of caregivers who offer innovative and compassionate treatment options, including radiation and chemotherapy. Fundraising goal: $7 million Cardiac Catheterization Lab Currently, Scott & White Hospital - Round Rock has one catheterization lab that operates at capacity, with three interventional cardiologists performing 1,000 procedures per year, but this is not enough. Another catheterization lab is needed to help cardiac specialists diagnose and treat more patients with symptoms of heart disease. Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) A four-bed NICU is needed to take care of our tiniest patients in Round Rock: infants born unexpectedly premature or with a medical condition that requires a level of care beyond that of a regular nursery. It gives parents much peace of mind to know that highly specialized neonatal care is available on-site as they plan for the birth of their child. Currently, babies who need this kind of neonatal expertise have access to the NICU at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple. Dr. Susan M.
