Austin's expanding health care system now rivals that of any major metropolitan area. Besides a number of major hospitals and one children's hospital, there are numerous out-patient clinics, emergency medical facilities and all manner of awareness programs that serve up healthy doses of wellness advice and information.

Recent area medical center expansions bring the total number of hospital beds to more than 3,000, and the region boasts the most recent technology available, including specialties in neonatal care, organ transplants, oncology and in-vitro fertilization. Seven hospitals specialize in psychiatric care and chemical dependency. In addition, the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas is the only dedicated freestanding pediatric facility in the region. Serving a 46-county area and beyond, Dell Children’s is the premier health care provider for children and adolescents.
