Areas of Need

Heart and Vascular

Baylor Scott & White Dallas Foundation is the heart of our community’s cardiovascular care. As the go-to hospital system for cardiovascular care in North Texas, we have three free-standing heart hospitals: Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital, The Heart Hospital at Baylor Plano, and The Heart Hospital Baylor Denton.

The Need

Every 37 seconds, another person dies of heart disease. It’s the nation’s most effective killer, and has been for more than a century. Today, 23 million people suffer from heart disease, and of these, 1.5 million will have a heart attack this year. Women will be hit hard, as heart disease kills more women than all types of cancer combined. Congestive heart failure is on the rise, too, with 550,000 people diagnosed each year.

Our Response

Baylor has battled this killer for more than half a century, pioneering many breakthroughs in the process. Today we’re more determined than ever to keep the fight – and our patients – alive. As a larger percentage of our population ages, the need for cardiovascular care grows.

Watching my diet and exercising regularly, I was shocked to find myself at Baylor after a heart attack. Cardiologist performed an emergency procedure to save my life and told me I was a lucky lady.

Top 3 Philanthropic Opportunities in Heart and Vascular

  • Medical Education
  • Advanced Research
  • Recruiting Leadership

Medical Education

Our medical leadership is only as strong as our ability to train the brightest minds in the field. Because of our patient volume and the vast experience of the physicians on our medical staff, we are in a unique position to offer outstanding, real-world training through fellowships.

Fellowships, which begin after residency, allow physicians to specialize in cardiology or vascular surgery. There are eight cardiology fellows and four vascular surgery fellows in the Baylor fellowship program. Each of these fellows, whether they remain at Baylor or seek positions elsewhere, will affect the lives of 50,000 to 100,000 people over the course of their careers. That amounts to a significant impact on the health of our community.

Advanced Research

Clinical research yields a threefold bonus of benefits. First, it offers patients access to participation in clinical research studies of medical advances, often at no charge. We are currently conducting more than 125 cardiovascular clinical trials. Second, it is our clinical research that keeps us at the forefront of heart and vascular medicine. Finally, clinical research is critical to fulfilling our mission to serve all people.

Recruiting Leadership

The brightest, most talented leaders are key to the future of cardiovascular care. Baylor has the extraordinary opportunity to recruit them.
