Health care

3 health care updates from Bastrop-area medical facilities
1 Ascension Seton Smithville The medical center now offers virtual behavioral health visits and has added $500,000 in operating room equipment to accommodate an increase in surgeries. Located a 15-minute drive from Bastrop, the facility provides 24/7 emergency care along with surgical services, inpatient and outpatient care, and a twice-weekly infusion clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The outpatient infusion site, in operation for the past year, offers blood transfusions, IV antibiotics, therapeutic phlebotomy and IV infusions of biologics.
2 Ascension Seton Bastrop The outpatient emergency room now provides virtual behavioral health visits and care for the senior population in surrounding nursing homes. Ascension Seton Bastrop offers 24/7 care for life-threatening illness and injury, with on-call specialists, an on-site lab and full-service digital imaging technology. Before leaving the medical center, patients are connected to appropriate follow-up care through the network of Ascension Seton specialists across all sites.
3 St. David’s Emergency Center–Bastrop An extension of St. David’s South Austin Medical center, the emergency center underwent interior and exterior cosmetic upgrades last fall—including improvements to the building’s brickwork and cabinets inside the center— without interruptions to service. The full-service emergency room has 10 exam rooms, an on-site lab, on-site digital imaging services, emergency care professionals and trauma-certified nurses. Patients who require additional inpatient care are transported to the South Austin Medical Center.
