Keeping Promises, Keeping People Well

Our foundation’s most important work is using our donors’ gifts exactly as promised — and reporting those results as quickly as possible. Below are recent examples of how we have used donors’ contributions to help people live well.

Cardiovascular Care

Thanks to over $2 million in gifts from generous donors, We are currently celebrating the return of expanded cardiovascular services to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving to address the most prevalent health issue in our country and our community, heart disease. These expanded services allow patients the opportunity to stay in their community while receiving advanced cardiovascular care—which does the heart good!

MindRay Ultrasound Machine

Through our Give To Change Employee Giving Campaign our employees raised funds to contribute $60,000 needed to purchase an additional MindRay Ultrasound for our Emergency Department. This cutting-edge ultrasound machine offers a more cost-effective, real-time, and patient-friendly imaging alternative, with innovative technologies that can help improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.


Newborn Nursey Cameras

Thanks to donors, relatives around the corner or around the world can log on securely to see their tiniest new family members because of seven nursery cameras that appreciated donors fully funded. Gifts have fully funded 11 cameras, and they are all in use most days because of the increase in births at Irving’s only donor-supported hospital.

Cardiac Defibrillators

When someone is having a heart attack and needs electrical current to restore a normal heartbeat, cardiac defibrillators are one of the most important tools for which a caregiver can reach. Donors to the foundation’s Greatest Need Fund helped fund the acquisition of 38 new defibrillators when the hospital needed to replace them after learning the vendor would no longer support our older devices

Lab Scanner

Four Seasons Resort and Club — along with hundreds of other appreciated donors — fully funded the 2022 purchase of a new digitizing scanner that sends high-resolution images so pathologists can receive images to analyze in only moments, replacing the need to ship actual tissue slides. The result: diagnoses can be determined sooner, and treatment planning can begin quickly.


Surgical Equipment Sterilizer

The Hillcrest Foundation generously gave funds to replace an older equipment sterilizer that was always in need of repair. In a 2022 stewardship report, we were excited to tell this donor that the new sterilizer was so efficient and reliable, our hospital was saving four hours a day processing (and not having to re-sterilize) equipment. This gift saves water, electricity and staff time — and helps us ensure surgical instruments are sterile when our surgeons reach for them.

Minimally Invasive Computer Tower

A grant from The Hillcrest Foundation fully funded a second computer tower that is an integral part of every laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, providing real-time imaging to our surgeons when seconds count. We anticipate adding 75-80 surgeries per year, thanks to this new tower. And thank you to The Hillcrest Foundation!

Expanded Maternity Unit

When births at BSW Medical Center Irving increased 66% overnight, donors funded the complete renovation of a patient floor where these additional new families find a great start for their little ones! We are so proud to report to our donors that their gifts help create a maternity unit that has been recognized as top in the United States for the past two years by both U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek magazines.


Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner’s Suite

An Irving donor contributed generously through our foundation to help build a new S.A.N.E. suite at Baylor University Medical Center’s Emergency Department in Dallas, which is where Irving patients are transferred when they’ve experienced sexual assault. Forensic evidence collected there is helping to convict perpetrators of sexual crimes.

Canine Companions for Independence

Since 2015, our foundation gratefully collected and granted nearly $1.3 million in gifts to help provide assistance dogs without charge to children and adults who need them.

Infant Medical Training Manikin

Our beloved hospital volunteers and employees combined forces to contribute the $42,000 needed to purchase this super-specialized teaching tool to help the team in our nursery, maternity unit and emergency department with year-round education.
