The overview
The campus expansion to double the overall hospital space includes a new, three-story medical office building, which more than quadruples the site’s clinic space. The project also doubled the center’s emergency room space.
Other new services include interventional cardiology for minimally invasive heart surgery; expanded primary care; audiology; and ear, nose and throat care. Ashley Short, BS&W’s vice president of clinic operations for the greater Austin region, said the center also expanded access to women’s health services, including OB-GYN services and mammographs, although deliveries will continue at the BS&W’s Round Rock Medical Center.
The project’s completion comes six years after the hospital first opened in Pflugerville. In that time, patient visits more than doubled.
Dr. Ghassan Salman, chief medical officers for BS&W's greater Austin region, said the project is a step forward for the health system and placed an emphasis on providing “customer-centric care.”
“We don't look at this as a square footage or bricks and mortar; these are services for our community members in Pflugerville,” he said. “People in Pflugerville in the past had to drive long distances to get what they need and what they deserve. Going forward, you will have these services in your backyard, next to your homes.”
