About us
Created by voters in 2004, Central Health’s mission is to improve the health of the community by caring for those who need it most. We are empowering communities with care by building a better healthcare system. Central Health is the public hospital district serving the residents of Travis County. Central Health’s core objective is to be healthcare system providing high-quality, equitable care for low-income Travis County residents. The hospital district is also indebted to the taxpayers of Travis County—who fund the majority of Central Health’s budget—to operate in a fiscally responsible and transparent manner. Central Health is a separate political subdivision of the State of Texas created in 2004 by a vote of Travis County residents. The boundaries of its health care service area and taxing jurisdiction are contiguous with Travis County. In early 2022, Central Health adopted a Healthcare Equity Plan which will guide the immediate and long-term work of the hospital district to improve health and reduce inequities for Travis County’s low-income population. The plan identifies four strategic imperatives: Access & Capacity, Care Coordination, Member Engagement, and System of Care.

We are proud to support the impactful work of the Trauma Recovery Center and the African American Youth Harvest Foundation (AAYHF). During a recent visit and recognition from the FBI and DOJ, our team stood with AAYHF CEO Michael Lofton, AAYHF Board Chair Dawn Tisdale, and our community partners to honor the center’s outstanding work in helping trauma survivors recover and rebuild their lives. At Central Health, we are committed to ensuring essential services like these remain accessible to the community. When AAYHF needed critical support, we stepped up to ensure their services continued without interruption, demonstrating the power of partnership and collaboration. Together, we are building a healthier, more resilient community. #CommunityImpact #TraumaRecovery #CentralHealth #AAYHF #Partnerships
