“We are located in one of the most rapidly growing cities in America, yet in the last ten years, 30,000 kids had to leave Austin and travel to Houston to Texas Children’s to receive the highly specialized care they needed,” said Russ Williams, senior vice president of Texas Children’s Hospital North Austin Campus. “Austin families and the surrounding communities deserve access to the most advanced treatment from world-renowned physicians at any given moment and Texas Children’s is doing their best to ensure this will happen now and in the future.”

The adjacent outpatient building will connect patients and families to Texas Children’s Pediatrics, the largest primary care network in the country. It will offer primary pediatrics care and wellness services, as well as various clinical subspecialties such as allergy and immunology, cardiology, clinical nutrition, diabetes and endocrinology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and pulmonology.

Texas Children’s has been building a presence in Austin, with more than 20 locations offering pediatric, urgent care, and specialty care in the community. The opening of Texas Children’s North Austin Campus will provide Austin families and surrounding communities with access to award-winning treatment closer to home.

The design of the campus takes inspiration from the Central Texas landscape and ecology, incorporating elements such as limestone exteriors, themed floors, and artwork reflecting the unique culture of Austin and the Texas Hill Country.

With future expansion in mind, the new campus has been master-planned to accommodate additional outpatient buildings and hospital buildings.
