As Greater Austin’s population has grown, so has demand for access to exceptional medical care. By partnering with Austin’s top practitioners and health care institutions, we are creating a medical system that meets Austin families’ needs — from world-class transplant and surgery centers to new care models that expand community access to preventive care and treatment options.
Since 2004, we have helped expand access to health care in Austin, starting with the establishment of Dell Children’s Medical Center, one of only five Level 1 pediatric trauma centers in Texas.
We’ve helped launch key programs like the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living and the expansion of Dell Children’s Medical Center to serve 46 Texas counties. In 2012, we partnered to establish Dell Medical School, which is driving innovation in health care, graduating its first class of doctors in 2020.
Our ongoing investments are fueling innovation in clinical care and research, creating a thriving medical community providing best-in-class care for families.
