St. David's HealthCare, which includes all the St. David's hospitals, Austin Diagnostic Clinic and Heart Hospital of Austin, quietly turned 100 last year. There wasn't a big community celebration. The doctors, nurses, therapists and other staff just kept working on Dec. 19, 2024 — 100 years after Texas issued a charter to open St. David's Hospital in a Victorian building at the corner of 17th and Rio Grande streets.
