To celebrate the new name and 11th anniversary, the hospital will officially illuminate its new external signs at a special event on Tuesday, December 1.

Jerri Garison, president of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Plano
"Eleven years ago, we opened these hospital doors for the first time," said Jerri Garison, hospital president. "Today's events not only celebrate a new name but also recognize the service given to the community for more than a decade by the clinicians and staff who practice the art of medicine here."
The not-for-profit health system, the largest in Texas, will rename all of its 49 hospitals over time in a fiscally responsible way.
"We at Baylor Scott & White Health are proud to have deep roots here in Texas, with facilities like Plano that are cornerstones of the communities they serve," said Joel Allison, CEO of Baylor Scott & White Health. "But we are equally excited about the future. Every Baylor Scott & White sign that goes up, including this one, takes us one step closer to our goal of creating a new, exemplary health system to serve as a model for others around the country to follow."
