At Baylor, Scott & White Care, the Taylor hospital is operating on backup power, a spokesperson told KXAN.

“It is important to note that we continuously prepare throughout the year to provide care safely to our communities in a variety of situations. This preparedness includes hosting drills, practicing emergency communications systems and more,” the spokesperson.

Additionally, the St. David’s North Austin Medical Center had no power for a brief time Wednesday, according to a statement from CEO Tom Jackson.

“Just like tens of thousands of businesses and residents in the Austin area, St. David’s North Austin Medical Center briefly lost power this morning due to the winter storm. It has since been restored,” Jackson said.

Furthermore, he said the hospital has generators to provide an alternative source of power, and the safety of patients was not compromised at any time, he said.

“In an abundance of caution, all remaining non-emergent procedures are being rescheduled,” Jackson said.
