When changing physician referral patterns in Irving nearly doubled the number of
monthly births overnight—from 150 to 270 or more starting in November 2022—Baylor
Scott & White Irving Foundation asked its community friends to help the hospital. Donors
responded in significant and generous ways with gifts totaling more than $1.6 million.
These funds helped fully fund the renovation of a patient unit currently used for the
increased numbers of our tiniest patients and their moms. The hospital also was able to
purchase nearly $500,000 worth of warmers, stretchers and other equipment to handle
the increase in newborns at Irving’s only donor-supported hospital.
