Founded as a Christian ministry of healing
More than a century ago, Baylor Scott & White Health was founded as a Christian ministry of healing, and it exists to promote the well-being of all individuals, families and communities. We are a not-for-profit health system, which means we reinvest all surpluses in our communities, improving lives in the areas we serve.
Our commitment to our mission and vision provides high-quality healthcare, clinical research, medical education and dozens of community services to millions of Texans each year.
How we identify community health needs
It's important for Baylor Scott & White to be aware of the health status of the community to provide the greatest benefit to those in need. Through a community health needs assessment, we identify areas of need where we can extend a helping hand.
How we respond to community health needs
At Baylor Scott & White, we are committed to enhancing the health of the communities we serve through outreach efforts focused on quality, compassionate care. By investing in valuable programs and services for the uninsured, underserved and most at-risk populations, we're building healthier communities and strengthening lives in Texas.

Baylor Scott & White Health exceeds all state and federal legal requirements mandating the provision of community benefit by tax-exempt, not-for-profit healthcare organizations.
