As a mission-driven , not-for-profit health care system , we at Baylor Scott & White Health believe we are merely a steward of resources owned by the communities we serve . We are committed to constantly finding new opportunities to provide resources to those who need them most , and we believe we have a responsibility to report our progress toward creating a healthier population .
From our Senior Chaplaincy program , which looks out for the elderly at risk of being forgotten , to Por tu Familia , a diabetes program tailored to Latinos , Baylor Scott & White ’ s diverse investment in service initiatives is making an impact . In many Texas communities , our programs represent the only opportunity for access to quality health care . Other programs , such as the Canine Companions for Independence © at Baylor Scott & White Health – Kinkeade Campus in Irving , introduce a new dimension of caring for those in need in our state .
Our community programs take our Christian ministry of healing far beyond the walls of our hospitals and go well above simply meeting the medical needs of those we treat . We are working every day to make Texans better — physically , mentally , emotionally and spiritually . In short , it ’ s health care reimagined .
I am honored to share some of these programs in this book , and humbled by the support and trust the community has in Baylor Scott & White ’ s commitment to serve , to improve health , and most important , to change lives .
Sincerely ,
James H . Hinton President and CEO Baylor Scott & White Health
