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
