Our 110-year commitment to you has never been healthier.

The people of North Texas have trusted Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas with their care for more than a century. And with good reason. For decades we have pioneered advances in virtually every area of medicine, including today’s groundbreaking treatments delivered at the molecular level. In addition, we have been nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report for 21 years and are ranked the number one hospital in Dallas-Fort Worth. But that distinction is just a by-product of our commitment to this community, backed by over $227 million in community benefits in 2012 alone. We simply put our money where our heart has always been. Right here.
