Financial Software Systems

Background
The Travis County Healthcare District, known as Central Health, is a hospital district established under Chapter 281 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. Its mission is to provide or arrange hospital and medical care for low-income residents of Travis County, focusing on improving community health, particularly for the uninsured and underinsured. Central Health is committed to enhancing healthcare through direct medical practice, partnerships with other providers, and facility construction in underserved areas.

The district's Healthcare Equity Plan aims to invest up to $700 million to address gaps in the safety-net healthcare system.
