The facility will have two medical towers, one for the cancer center and the other for the new university hospital. It will be located at the current downtown location of UT-Austin’s Frank Erwin Center, formerly a multipurpose facility.

The cancer center will have 150 inpatient beds for treatment, 230 outpatient exam rooms and will include many of the same features as the MD Anderson hospital in Houston, including bone marrow transplantation and multiteam surgery.

    It’s sort of all of the above. You are just naming different entities of that massive system — University of Texas, or entities that have an indirect relationship, Acsension.

    The land and buildings are owned by UT — Dell Seton Medical Center, (new) UT Austin MD Anderson Center. Dell in this case is just buying naming rights (similar to how big companies buy sports arenas).

    Ascension is more of the people side to this equation. They are the ones that bill patients, manage staff, and make sure hospital is up and running.

    MD Anderson is just another healthcare system like Ascension, except keeping it all in-house and specializes in cancer research and treatment.
