Austin Revels in St. David’s HealthCare’s Triumphs and Community Commitment

In a city as vibrant as Austin, it’s always great to hear some good news, especially when it involves our local health care system and community connections. St. David’s HealthCare has just announced that every one of their hospitals has been honored with the prestigious 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award from Healthgrades. How awesome is that?

St. David’s Top Tier Performance

This award is not just a shiny trophy sitting on a shelf; it’s a big deal! It recognizes the exceptional, patient-centered care provided by St. David’s Medical Center, St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center, St. David’s South Austin Medical Center, and St. David’s North Austin Medical Center. That means these hospitals are now ranked among the top 10% of hospitals in the nation when it comes to safe, high-quality care. That’s quite an accomplishment!

The recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all the fantastic physicians, nurses, and staff who put their hearts and souls into caring for patients. And it’s not just a random selection; this honor is based on solid data. It looks at patient outcomes, focusing on risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates across a staggering 4,500 hospitals nationwide. What it boils down to is that patients at St. David’s hospitals have a much lower chance of encountering certain complications compared to those treated at hospitals that didn’t receive this award. Talk about peace of mind!

More Accolades for St. David’s

Earlier this year, things were looking even brighter for St. David’s as they were also included on the 2025 Healthgrades America’s 250 Best Hospitals list. That’s right; they placed in the top 5% for clinical excellence. Clearly, St. David’s HealthCare is on a roll!

Commitment Beyond Healthcare

What’s equally exciting is that St. David’s HealthCare isn’t just focused on hospitals; they’re actively involved in the community, too. They have recently extended their partnership with Austin FC for another 10 years. Having been a founding partner since 2019, this renewed relationship means St. David’s keeps the naming rights to the St. David’s Performance Center, an impressive training facility for our local soccer team.

The Performance Center spans a whopping 23 acres and boasts four pitches along with a 30,000-square-foot building filled with cutting-edge training and medical technology. It’s the perfect setup for Austin FC and Austin FC II, ensuring players receive top-notch medical care.

Impact on the Community

The collaboration between St. David’s HealthCare and Austin FC doesn’t stop there. They also work together on community impact initiatives, like the 4ATX Foundation’s annual “A Night in Verde” Gala, which raised an impressive $1,058,000 in 2024. Now that’s an event you want to be a part of!

Exciting Times Ahead for Austin FC Fans

As we look ahead, Austin FC’s 2025 preseason, presented by St. David’s HealthCare, started on January 11, and fans can anticipate watching seven preseason matches. This excitement builds up to the 2025 Major League Soccer season, which kicks off on February 22 when Austin FC hosts Sporting Kansas City. Can you feel the excitement in the air?

Overall, it’s fantastic to see how St. David’s HealthCare continues to elevate patient safety while strengthening community ties through sports. It’s not just about hospitals; it’s about bringing the best to Austin in every possible way. Here’s to more good news and continued health for our city!
