Gather, learn, empower

As part of our dedication to the health and wellness of the communities we serve, Baylor Scott & White continues to invest in programs focused on healthy living. The Robert Conte Wellness Center empowers patients to live well by offering a space to gather and learn health enriching behaviors, through engaging health education programs and topics that are specific to their wellness needs. The Robert Conte Wellness Center is located next to Baylor Scott & White Clinic - College Station Midtown

Dr. Robert Conte

The center is named in honor of the late Dr. Robert Conte. As a physician, Dr. Conte was passionate about helping people navigate what he called the “uncharted journey” of healthy aging. Dr. Conte raised cattle in the Brazos Valley and served on the board of directors for Baylor Scott & White in College Station. After he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he gained new perspective about the value of identifying tools for coping with his symptoms. His legacy is a place where patients can learn the skills to manage their own health with the support of a community of others with similar conditions.
