Ascension Seton Williamson opened its new patient tower, a $230 million investment designed to meet the needs of Williamson County, one of the fastest-growing regions in Central Texas. This expansion ensures that local families have greater convenience to reliable and compassionate care close to home.

“Our doctors, nurses, and care teams are at the heart of our commitment to this community,” said Jamie Youssef, Ministry Market CEO, Ascension Texas. “The opening of this new tower empowers them to extend our Mission to even more families.”

Thanks to donors like you, Ascension Seton Williamson is now equipped with:

  • 96 new inpatient beds, with capacity to support future growth as our community needs evolve.
  • A new 10-bed Clinical Decision Unit to support observation care and help patients transition smoothly to the next step in their care.
  • A new cardiac catheterization lab for specialized cardiovascular services.
  • Two new operating suites to reduce wait times and increase surgical capacity.
  • Additional CT, MRI, and X-ray capabilities.
  • A 33,000-square-foot expansion within the Medical Office Building, creating new space for hospital-based outpatient departments (such as cardiac rehab, pediatric rehab, and a lymphedema clinic) and upgraded cardiology offices.

It was an honor to celebrate the opening of the new patient tower with Ascension Seton Williamson Foundation board members, hospital leadership, and HereCare donors who helped make this first achievement of our HereCare campaign possible.

“This tower expansion is an investment in the future of healthcare delivery for our neighbors,” said Andrew Gnann, President of Ascension Seton Williamson. “Our goal was to create a space that does more than just add capacity; it creates a care environment that supports healing, dignity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. By expanding our facilities and modernizing our technology, we are ensuring that we can continue to provide care to the families of Williamson County for generations to come.” 

The new tower is scheduled to welcome its first patient on September 1, marking a new chapter in our ministry’s long-standing service to our community.
