Ken Gladish to lead the Seton Foundations
Ken Gladish has accepted the position of president and CEO of the Seton Foundations. Ken is a nationally recognized leader in charitable and philanthropic endeavors.
Since 2008, Ken has been president and CEO of the Austin Community Foundation (ACF). During his tenure, ACF received more than $65 million in contributions and disbursed nearly $60 million to a wide range of charitable causes in Central Texas. Prior to joining ACF, Ken served as president of the YMCA of the USA and in academic leadership roles in Michigan and Indiana. He will begin his new role in November.
The Seton Foundations are comprised of the Seton Fund, Children’s Medical Center Foundation of Central Texas, Seton Williamson Foundation and Seton Hays Foundation. In partnership with generous donors, these fundraising foundations raised nearly $19 million last year to support Seton’s healthcare ministry in Central Texas.
Philanthropic support will continue to be critical to Seton’s success as we expand medical education and innovative research across Central Texas as part of our partnership with UT Southwestern Medical School and The University of Texas System. As Seton welcomes Ken Gladish, we again recognize the remarkable achievements of Gene Attal, who left Seton in January after 35 remarkable years of service. Under Gene’s leadership, Seton’s fundraising efforts supported the opening of the region’s first neonatal intensive care unit, the region’s only heart transplant center and construction of new facilities such Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, Seton Medical Center Williamson and Seton Medical Center Hays. In addition, we thank Gerald Hill, interim president of the Seton Foundations and executive director of the Seton Hays Foundation, for his exceptional leadership during this transition.
Please join us in welcoming Ken to the Seton Family of Hospitals. His expertise, vision and commitment will help us continue to ensure a vibrant and dynamic philanthropic partnership with the Central Texas community.

Seton Medical Center Hays now open!
All of us at Seton Medical Center Hays are proud to call Hays County home and appreciate the incredibly warm welcome we’ve received from area residents, their families and businesses alike. In May 2010, the medical center began phasing in additional beds on the fourth floor to provide added capacity for patients needing care at the facility. Hays County residents are definitely taking advantage of having top quality medical care available closer to home. By way of example, SMCH saw its 10,000th patient in the Emergency Department in March, only five months after opening. The good news is that SMCH was built to grow as the community grows and will continue to do so now and into the future as demand dictates.
The Seton Hays Foundation was established to assist with the development of SMCH in Kyle, providing both on-going financial support and advocacy. Over the next few years, with considerable community and business support, the Foundation is committed to raising funds that will go directly into helping SMCH continue to grow and enhance the services it provides as the area’s largest medical campus. We are truly grateful to our donors and look forward to growing our partnerships in the coming years.
At Seton Hays, we hope you will agree that the choice for all kinds of medical care is simple, because it’s all in one place.
