Ascension Texas is making a long-term commitment to strengthen the essential tools our caregivers rely on each day. Investing in everyday care focuses on practical improvements that help us deliver compassionate, person-centered care — not by just building new hospitals and care sites, but by upgrading the technology and equipment that support patients at their most vulnerable moments. These updates include imaging systems, cardiac ultrasound machines, incubators, patient beds, sterilizers and other tools that help make care safer, faster, and more comfortable for our patients.

Where you'll see improvements

  • Imaging and diagnostics

    New CT scanners, MRI units, digital radiography systems, and cardiac ultrasound equipment help caregivers provide clearer images and quicker answers.

  • Emergency and critical care

    Updated NICU incubators, ventilators, and patient monitoring technology ensure our youngest and most fragile patients receive the highest level of care.

  • Surgical and sterile processing

    Enhanced sterilizers, washers, and surgical tables support consistent, safe procedures and help reduce delays.

  • Patient comfort and safety

    New beds, stretchers, and exam tables are designed to improve patient dignity and reduce physical strain on caregivers.
