St. David’s HealthCare & St. David’s Foundation: Part of Something Bigger

With more than 110 sites across Central Texas, St. David’s HealthCare includes seven of the area’s leading hospitals and is one of the largest health systems in Texas. The organization was recognized with a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award—the nation’s highest presidential honor for performance excellence—in 2014. St. David’s HealthCare is the third-largest private employer in the Austin area, with more than 8,700 employees.

St. David’s HealthCare is a unique partnership between hospital management company HCA , St. David’s Foundation and Georgetown Health Foundation. The proceeds from the operations of the hospitals fund the foundations, which, in turn, invest those dollars back into the community. Since the inception of St. David’s HealthCare in 1996, more than $700 million dollars have been given back to the community to improve the health and healthcare of people in Central Texas.

St. David’s HealthCare employees are part of something so much bigger than their jobs. We took some employees from St. David’s HealthCare to visit a few of our grant partners, so they could learn more about the impact of our partnership.
