Update
Scott & White Healthcare and Baylor Health Care System
A TexAS-Size Merger
September 30, the governing boards of Scott &
White Healthcare and Baylor Health Care System
formalized their agreement to join our two systems
and become one—Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest
not-for-profit health system in the state of Texas.
Baylor Scott & White Health unites the strengths of
the two systems. Over time, this will mean greater, more
convenient access to high-quality care for patients in Central
and North Texas through an extensive network of providers
and locations. It will mean enhanced access to resources
and clinical trials for research. And we will continue to
educate the future of medicine through our strong teaching
programs. As we look to the future of healthcare delivery
we are excited about the ways this merger will benefit the
communities we serve.
The Scott & White Healthcare Foundation and the
On
Baylor Health Care System Foundation will remain separate
entities and continue to support their traditional service
areas. Our team will continue to advance our programs
in Central Texas by obtaining philanthropic financial
resources to meet the needs of those served. Our generous
donors will continue to make gifts to clinical programs
and hospitals of their choice. Previous gifts, naming rights,
chairs, and other philanthropic initiatives will be honored as
originally intended.
Just as the new Baylor Scott & White will honor
and continue the legacy of excellence of Scott & White
Healthcare, so must we continue to support Scott & White.
As we transition into this bright and exciting future, the
role of philanthropy becomes increasingly important. We
are grateful for your continued support and for making a
commitment to Scott & White Healthcare. n
