St.
David's Round Rock Medical Center opened its first urgent care clinic
on Tuesday, December 15, 2009, to treat patients with non-emergent
conditions. St. David's Urgent Care Round Rock includes a six-room
clinic with X-ray equipment and a lab. Physicians and staff at the new

evenings and on weekends, to achieve our goal of making health care
more convenient for all patients.”
