Countdown to North Austin – Meet the Docs

January 29, 2024

Expanding in Austin wouldn’t be possible without the Right People working tirelessly to advance our mission and culture of care. Five of those leaders are stepping up to the plate – thinking and leading differently for a city that demands it:

Dr. Bryan Vartabedian – Chief Pediatric Officer
Dr. Melanie Belt – Chief OB/GYN Officer
Dr. Edward Buchanan – Chief Surgical Officer
Dr. Shellie Josephs – Chief of Radiology
Dr. LyTorre Vidaurri – Chief of Anesthesiology

“We are incredibly fortunate to welcome such accomplished physicians to lead our medical staff in Austin,” said Executive Vice President Dan DiPrisco.

“These doctors represent the very best the medical community has to offer…our new hospital is poised for immediate success with each one of them at the helm,” added Russ Williams, Senior Vice President of Texas Children’s North Austin Campus. “Ultimately, our goal is to make a life-changing difference for children and women in Austin, and Drs. Belt, Buchanan, Josephs, Vartabedian and Vidaurri, are just the right people for the job.”

We want you to get to know our chiefs a little better, so we sat down with them to talk all things Texas Children’s Austin – from exploring the city to opening North Austin Campus this week.
