Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving, one of DFW's most awarded and recognized facilities, was originally named Irving Community Hospital when it opened in 1964. It was so well constructed that some of our operating rooms have been in continual use since that time. However, surgery has improved vastly across the decades—and now it is time to upgrade our Surgical Services to meet the medical needs of patients from our community. It's one of three key projects the hospital is undertaking—and seeking community help in the form of gifts—so that it's prepared to care for future generations.
Cardiovascular Care enhancements are also in our plans, beginning with additional thoracic and complex cardiac surgeries in Irving. Those enhancements began in 2023.
Maternity services are being quickly expanded after a December 2022 announcement by U.S. News and World Report that our maternity department is one of the top 300 in the country. We’ve seen changing referral patterns that have increased our births from 150 to 250-300 each month—almost overnight! To meet this demand, we've already renovated--thanks to gifts from donors--a vacated unit in our original patient tower. However, we still need additional equipment and enhance the operating rooms and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to better serve these tiniest members of our community and their moms.
Our Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation team would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you about these, and other, projects at Irving’s only not-for-profit hospital. Please call 972-990-4391 today to schedule a visit!
