Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano

What Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano does

Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano is a quaternary cardiovascular specialty hospital founded in 2007 and operated as part of the nonprofit Baylor Scott & White Health system. The hospital operates six campuses across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (Plano headquarters, Dallas, Denton, McKinney, Fort Worth, Waxahachie), staffed by 587 employees and a network of 282 physician partners who have treated patients from 46 states and 12 countries. Clinical services span the full cardiovascular continuum: interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, structural heart disease (including TAVR, MitraClip, TEVAR), electrophysiology, vascular surgery, advanced aortic disease, advanced heart recovery (LVAD, ECMO, transplant support), preventive cardiology, advanced cardiovascular imaging, and cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation.

The underlying technology stack combines minimally invasive and robotic surgical platforms (one of the busiest robotic thoracic programs globally, including ION robotic bronchoscopy), advanced cardiovascular imaging (3D TEE, intracardiac echo, strain, AI-powered coronary plaque analysis in CT workflows, mobile CMR), and integrated imaging-EMR workflow via Philips IntelliSpace Cardiovascular with Epic/Cupid. The Cardiac Imaging Core Lab analyzes 4,402 images annually across 21 active projects, and the clinical research program runs 179 industry trials across 12 therapeutic areas with $5.7M awarded to 163 studies since 2001 and 488 publications plus 126 conference presentations.

The business model is multi-stream: core patient care revenue from acute cardiovascular admissions and procedures (TAVR, PCI, cardiac surgery, EP ablations, vascular interventions); clinical research grants and industry-sponsored trials; regional consulting services to sister BSW hospitals (medical director guidance, quality/registry operations, nursing operations, executive guidance); Graduate Medical Education across nine ACGME-accredited fellowships; the Cardiovascular Institute (77 allied health graduates since 2020); and the FACET medical education platform delivering 255 events to 10,591 attendees since 2017. Go-to-market operates through physician referral networks, a six-campus outpatient footprint, and a Refer-a-Patient portal, with no consumer-paid pricing — services are reimbursed via insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and negotiated contracts. In 2025, the hospital merged with Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital to form a unified heart and vascular enterprise.
