individuals and organizations . Their tangible gift propelled the realization of the dream forward .
Last year , longtime Horseshoe Bay residents Robert and Barbara McFarland made a leadership gift of $ 1 million to support the Hurd Regional Medical Center Scott & White . Their desire to invest in the future of their community stemmed from a deep affection for the area and their enduring appreciation for the lifesaving care Mrs . McFarland received at Scott & White .
While creating the medical center campus has always been a priority for Scott & White Healthcare , philanthropy is needed to help sustain advanced level services , and give people access to highquality care that is nearby .
The overall project cost of the Hurd Regional Medical Center Scott & White is $ 150 million . The capital campaign has raised about $ 7.5 million , leaving significant opportunity for individuals and organizations to get involved in the campaign . Completion of the campaign is necessary to help offset the higher costs of running the new hospital in its first years of operation , including the acquisition of advanced technology , additional services , and the recruitment of more specialty physicians .
In the meantime , construction teams remain hard at work on the new hospital bed tower that will be opening next year . “ When I go to Austin to see my grandkids , I drive past the intersection where the medical center is . Every time I drive past , I smile a little bit bigger ,” says Mr . Anderson . n
