Our team : the heart of our success
Working closely with physicians on the medical staff and volunteers who graciously give their time , there is a strong sense of pride for the reputation of being a nationally recognized hospital specializing in heart and vascular care and a choice for many clinicians and patients . Employees develop commitment statements to summarize their reason for being in their role and giving their best to patients , families and each other .
The culture at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital is one that encourages all employees to value every role and every position . Not a single recognition day for one discipline is celebrated . Annually , the entire team celebrates “ Partners in Care Week ” which signifies that we are “ all in it together .”
