In 2014, Truven Health Analytics named St. David’s North Austin Medical Center to its list of 100 Top Hospitals in the nation for the third consecutive year. St. David’s Medical Center – which includes St. David’s Georgetown Hospital and Heart Hospital of Austin – also made the list. This is the fifth consecutive year that St. David’s Medical Center received this prestigious ranking.
St. David’s North Austin Medical Center and St. David’s Medical Center were selected from among more than 2,800 short-term acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals for their exemplary demonstration of achieving high quality patient outcomes.
