The Seton Family of Hospitals successfully treats tens of thousands of emergency patients each year. We have six Level IV Trauma Centers and the only Level II Trauma Center in Central Texas, located at University Medical Center at Brackenridge. The Center serves the 13-county Central Texas area and is the home base for the STARFlight and Critical Air Medicine Aeromedical programs.
The Level II designation is awarded by the American College of Surgeons. Level II hospitals are fully staffed 24 hours a day with physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists and specially trained nurses, and there is a budget adequate enough to attract the best staff and furnish the latest equipment. Level II also requires annual performance audits and a triage system that makes sure patients are treated in the appropriate area within the Seton Family of Hospitals. Our ER staff has seen and treated every kind of emergency. Our success comes from a staff that is highly skilled in all areas of medicine and is constantly benefiting from one another’s knowledge and expertise.
For minor illness or injury, take advantage of ER Express at Seton Northwest Hospital. You’ll be seen within 30 minutes by our highly trained team of physicians, technicians and award-winning nurses.
