Scott & White Hospital - College Station Opens Next Summer! continued
whether that’s your family, your church,
or another support system.”
In this highly competitive market
with two established hospitals, Scott
& White’s integrated model of care is
what sets it apart. Dr. Rayburn says,
“The new hospital will complement
and support the region’s clinics, while
enhancing our ability to better serve
patients through seamless handoffs
between the clinic and the hospital.”
To this end, the campus will also
boast a 125,000-square-foot clinic
with direct access to the hospital.
The clinic will house several new
medical specialties and centers.
“We’re thrilled to have the second
Scott & White Hospital in the region,
the first being Scott & White Hospital
- Brenham. This region will evolve to be
a regional medical referral site, as Scott
& White continues to raise the bar for
local healthcare,” says Dr. Rayburn.
As this region is becoming a desired
retirement destination for the extended
Aggie family and people from more
urban settings—combined with the
large population of students from
Texas A&M University—the timing of
the new hospital couldn’t be better. Its
presence also will have a $50 million
economic impact during the next five
years, as up to 400 team members will
staff the facility. A very visible sign of
the commitment Scott & White has
made to the region, the new five-story
hospital will sit in clear view throughout
College Station at the corner of Rock
Prairie and Texas Highway 6.

CANCER AND OUR LOCAL CHALLENGE
More than 1,600 people in the Brazos Valley were diagnosed with cancer
in 2010; half of them were treated by our multidisciplinary team of
specialists. These patients are our neighbors, family, and friends, and
they need clinical expertise, as well as all of the social and emotional
support possible. The new Scott & White Cancer Center - College
Station, located on the first floor of the new clinic, will expand the
level of expertise available to address patients' needs. Experts here
are linked to cancer physicians and scientists throughout the Scott &
White Healthcare system. Patients at every Cancer Center location are
connected to the expertise of all clinicians, and have access to support
programs and research efforts. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists
has already treated more than 800 patients in the area in 2010. As
innovation in cancer care continues, it’s comforting for patients and their
families to know that many therapeutic services can be delivered in an
outpatient setting, and that the new Scott & White Hospital will be close
by, just in case an inpatient stay is required.
The new Scott & White Cancer Center
- College Station overlooks the new
healing garden on the Scott &
White Healthcare - College Station
medical campus.
The planned opening in August 2013 will make all the difference to patients. Services offered will include
screening and diagnostics, innovative therapies, chemotherapy infusion, and long-term monitoring. You can
make a difference in the life of someone nearby. The $5 million Scott & White Cancer Center - College Station
will offer much-needed relief to many patients and families, who will be able to receive the care they need
near their homes and loved ones. Funds are needed to purchase highly specialized equipment and to ensure
the comfort of patients and families during treatment.
