St. David’s Medical Center

Nestled at the foot of the Hill Country where the 150 miles of Highland Lakes begins in Central Texas, Austin is the Lone Star State Capital and home of the University of Texas Longhorns. With many high-tech companies headquartered here, Austin is sometimes called "the Silicon Hills." If you aren't familiar with this part of Texas, you'll be amazed at our beautiful trees, hills and lakes. Austin is a clean, progressive, and active place to live.
