Seton Healthcare
now Ascension Seton
Seton publicly celebrated a milestone Thursday and unveiled signage that includes the integration of the Ascension name, officially known as Ascension Seton.
The move unifies Ascension Seton hospitals, clinics and senior living communities across Texas and the country to Ascension’s 2,500 sites of care in 21 states and Washington, D.C.
Ascension Seton, formerly known as Seton Healthcare family, has served Austin and the surrounding communities in Central Texas for more than 115 years. Ascension Seton operates more than 100 clinical locations, including four teaching hospitals, and employs more than 13,000 people. Over the past decade, Ascension Seton has provided more than $3.5 billion in charity care, as reported to the state of Texas.
The exterior signage has begun to change at Ascension Seton sites of care, and the new brand identity will roll out in a phased approach at other Ascension Seton sites over the next year.

People's Community Clinic
given a dental van
People’s Community Clinic will be able to offer its patients dental service through a new dental van provided by the St. David’s Foundation.
The van will be stationed at People’s Community Clinic, 1101 Camino La Costa, and dentists there will be able to offer services such as exams, X-rays, extractions, fillings, cleanings, crowns and appliances.
The gift is part of St. David’s $35 million summer grants to Central Texas organizations. In addition to the van, St. David’s runs the Healthy Smiles program, a mobile dentistry program that brings care to elementary schools during the school year as well as to clinics during the summer.
To find out more about receiving dental care from People’s Community Clinic, call 512-478-4939.
