Ascension Providence Hospital — Waco, TX
Waco, TX
Ascension Providence opened as Waco's first hospital in 1905, and heart care is still its calling card across Central Texas, with strong surgical, stroke, and women's programs alongside.
- Multiple cardiac cath labs carry the structural heart workload of TAVR, WATCHMAN, MitraClip, and AFib ablation, which makes for a full stretch if you're a cath-lab or cardiovascular tech. Read More
- Surgeons here operate with both robotic and image-guided systems across orthopedics, gynecology, urology, thoracic, and general surgery, with open-heart and cardiac surgery on the schedule.
- On the diagnostic side, the cardiac imaging is unusually deep for a hospital this size, including cardiac MRI and HeartFlow CT angiography on top of standard MRI and nuclear medicine.
- Stroke patients are covered by both a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center and a Texas-designated Level II Stroke Center, so CT and MRI see regular emergent use.
- The Women's and Newborn Center handles maternity and on-site neonatal care, and the hospital charts on Epic.

FAQs – Travel Occupational Therapy Jobs Near Waco, TX
What certifications are required for travel OT jobs?
Travel OT jobs require an active occupational therapy license for the assignment state. Most also require an active OTR credential through NBCOT and current BLS certification. Some settings may look for specialized experience, such as hand therapy or pediatrics.

At Advantis Medical, your recruiter works with you to find opportunities that align with your background, comfort level, and career goals.
What licensing route covers this Texas travel OT contract?
Texas is not an OT Compact member, so an occupational therapist licensed elsewhere must obtain a Texas OT license before beginning this contract. Licensure by endorsement includes the Texas jurisprudence examination and fingerprinting. The state’s temporary license is limited to first-time NBCOT examination applicants, so it is not a bridge for an experienced OT applying with an existing out-of-state license. Confirm current fees, requirements, and application steps with the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners.
Which cath-lab procedures run at Ascension Providence in Waco?
Multiple cath labs and structural-heart procedures — TAVR, WATCHMAN, MitraClip — put cath-lab and cardiovascular techs in an interventional program.
What cardiac imaging runs at Ascension Providence in Waco?
CT and MRI techs support specialized cardiac studies, including HeartFlow CTA and cardiac MRI.
How much surgical work would surgical techs find at Providence Waco?

Explore Waco, TX
Along the Brazos River, Waco, TX anchors the Heart of Texas, a midsize city in McLennan County that has drawn fresh attention as a travel destination. CT, MRI, and therapy work spreads across a metro of roughly a quarter-million, with Baylor University and the Magnolia development at the Silos shaping a good deal of downtown. The city sits on I-35 at its crossing with US-84, almost exactly halfway between Dallas and Austin, about ninety miles from each. Cameron Park stretches along the Brazos with cliffs and trails, and the Dr Pepper story started here in 1885. For a bigger airport or specialized care, Dallas and Austin are each a ninety-minute drive up or down I-35.
