Baylor Scott & White Health

As the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, Baylor Scott & White Health is an integrated care delivery network that aims to be a trusted leader and innovator in value-based care delivery, customer experience and affordability.

With 52 hospitals, including flagship academic medical centers in Dallas and Temple, Baylor Scott & White offers the full continuum of care with 7,500 active physicians providing primary care and award-winning specialty care at more than 1,100 access points throughout Texas and via virtual touchpoints.

Baylor Scott & White Health was born from the 2013 combination of Baylor Health Care System and Scott & White Healthcare. In addition to receiving accolades for outstanding patient care, the health system conducts critical research through Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, serves more than 220,000 members through the Scott and White Health Plan, and continuously works to improve care coordination for more than 700,000 covered lives through its Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance.

Baylor Scott & White was the most awarded not-for-profit health system in Texas for the second year in a row by U.S. News & World Report. Three of its hospitals — Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple and Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano — were recognized among “The World’s Best Hospitals 2020” by Newsweek magazine. The system is also consistently voted a top employer for military veterans.

Baylor Scott & White began offering a new model of primary care in September 2019 with transparent pricing and easy-to-use technology that allows North Texas employers and employees to tailor their healthcare needs. The model, called direct primary care, offers predictable and transparent costs, a greater chance of reduced hospitalizations and emergency department visits, improved patient-doctor relationships, better health outcomes and greater patient satisfaction. Employers can control healthcare costs, offer a valuable benefit to employees, and potentially have a more productive workforce.
