STARFlight Rescue

Sometimes the medical needs of critically ill babies or premature newborns exceed the capabilities of the hospital where they are born. Seton Family of Hospitals has maintained a highly skilled specially trained neonatal transport team for more than 30 years serving 13 counties in Central Texas. This transport team is proficient in both ground and air transports and is available 24 hours, seven days a week. The team is comprised of neonatologists, neonatal intensive care nurses and respiratory care therapists. On-going communication between the referring hospital, physicians and neonatologists continues during and after the transport of critically ill infants to one of the network’s three Level 3 Neonatal Units in Austin.
