Benefits

Seton Edgar B. Davis is a critical access acute care hospital. It serves the residents of Luling and its surrounding counties with an emergency, inpatient and outpatient services. A hospitalist manages the inpatient service and the hospital is staffed for approximately 15 inpatient beds. There is not an intensive care unit.

Radiology services include standard studies, a 64-slice CT scanner, MRI, and ultrasound. Bedside Sonosite ultrasound is available for use by the emergency physician. Respiratory therapy is in-house at all times. The laboratory provides the full range of studies typically needed by an emergency physician.

Specialty outpatient clinics at SEBD include cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, and urology. Transfers and specialty consultations are easily available through the Seton Transfer Center with access to all the hospitals in the Seton Austin network.

The Emergency Department is staffed with one physician and 2 nurses. It is certified as a Level IV trauma center with rapid access to Dell Seton Medical Center and Seton Medical Center Hays. EMS services are provided by Caldwell County in Lockhart and the City of Luling. Air Evac is an option for emergent transfers. STEM! and stroke transfers are expedited through the transfer center.

Luling is located just 40 miles south of Austin, and 50 miles east of San Antonio. The great outdoors is close at hand with many rivers, lakes, campgrounds, and natural caverns dotting the area. A friendly, quiet Central Texas community, Luling is renowned for its barbecue, rich oil history, decorated pump jacks, fresh produce and plants, abundant watermelons (don't miss the annual Watermelon Thump!), and Texas' first inland canoe paddling trail on the San Marcos River. The expansive San Marcos Outlet Malls are 10 minutes away, and the pleasures of the San Antonio River Walk and the State Capitol in Austin are both just an hour away. Luling is an easy commute from either city, with all the friendly advantages of a small-town Texas community.
