Who Is Baylor Scott & White Health?
What Texas Patients Need to Know
Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) is the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas, touching the lives of more than a million patients each year. With 50+ hospitals and over 1,100 care delivery sites, this system serves communities across the state — from bustling urban centers to rural outposts.
While BSWH offers a wide array of services and many patients receive quality care, the size and scale of its operations can sometimes result in preventable harm. At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, we’ve seen firsthand how medical errors in large hospital systems can have devastating consequences. We are committed to holding BSWH accountable when care falls below the accepted standard.
A History of Baylor Scott & White Health
Baylor Scott & White was created in 2013 through the merger of two historic healthcare institutions:
- Baylor Health Care System (Dallas) – Founded in 1903, faith-based origins
- Scott & White Healthcare (Temple) – Founded in 1897, with a focus on academic medicine
Together, they formed a unified nonprofit system with a mission to serve patients statewide — but also one that now faces scrutiny over the outcomes and safety of its vast network.
