The Ascension Texas Disaster Recovery and Medical Response Unit jumps into action when disasters strike.

Thanks to our supporters, the Ascension Texas Foundations funded supplies and other needs for this team to respond to the Central Texas Floods this summer. They took hygiene kits, weather radios and other necessities to those who had lost homes and property to the floodwaters. The unit also contributed clinical support for first responders and volunteers as well as psychological first-aid to those traumatized by the devastation.

The Ascension Seton Williamson Foundation is excited to welcome three new board members to our Board of Trustees: Will Matthews, Jennifer Seidner, and Steven Wolfe.

We also want to thank Holly Coe for more than a decade of service at the Foundation. Holly served on the Seton Women’s Development Board for five years and then as a Trustee for the last five years, but her support of the Foundation extends far longer than a decade. Holly has contributed so much and is truly passionate about the mission of ensuring healthcare for all in our community — we are grateful she will continue to collaborate with us into the future.

It is with a heavy heart that we share with you the passing of Sister Gertrude Levy on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the age of 105.

For more than 40 years, Sister Gertrude blessed the hallways of Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (Seton Main) with her loving presence leaving a legacy that is still very much felt today.

“Sister Gertrude was a bright light in the lives of four generations of my family and the lives of thousands who visited Seton Hospital. Sister was, in every way, a servant leader putting God first, her neighbor second and herself third. She took a personal vow of poverty yet raised millions of dollars for the healthcare of the poor and the vulnerable,” said Luci Baines Johnson. “We pray the Good Lord is now showering on Sister the joy she always showered on us.”

We're thrilled Ascension Seton Williamson recently doubled the size of its cardiac rehab space. This expansion offers more equipment and more flexibility to customize rehab programs for individual patients -- helping them get back to their lives faster.

A milestone moment for cardiac rehab at Ascension Seton Williamson!

We welcomed our first patient this week in the newly expanded cardiac rehab space! This area was designed to give cardiac patients the support, equipment, and environment they need to get stronger — and we’re already seeing the difference it makes.

Our team is proud to walk alongside patients on their journey to recovery — one step, one pedal, one heartbeat at a time.

As children return to school, their classrooms, friendships, and routines may look and feel different in the wake of the July 4th floods. Some students may be coping with loss, displacement, or changes at home, and those impacts can follow them into the school day.

We know these shifts can be difficult for children to navigate, especially while balancing academics and social life. Robyn Moyer, Director of Dell Children’s Child Life Department, has shared practical steps and resources to help parents, caregivers, and educators support children through this transition.
