Overview
What You Should Know
Located in Central Texas, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple is a key hub in the Baylor Scott & White Health system and serves as a major academic and research hospital. It’s affiliated with the Texas A&M School of Medicine and is one of the largest teaching hospitals outside of Dallas and Houston.
While this hospital is recognized for its training and specialty services, its size and complexity have also led to reported issues involving medical errors, misdiagnoses, and systemic breakdowns in care.
