If you’ve spent much time in Texas, you know that Baylor University isn’t the only prominent organization using the Baylor name. Most notably, Baylor Scott & White Health<\/a>\u00a0(BSWH) is the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas, treating 5 million patients a year,\u00a0while the Baylor College of Medicine<\/a> (BCM) is annually among the nation’s very best medical schools.<\/p>\n Both BSWH\u00a0and BCM share their names with Baylor University because they came from Baylor University. Though functionally independent today, the three institutions are\u00a0inextricably linked to one another through their shared history and vision. Combined,\u00a0Baylor University, Baylor Health Care System and the Baylor College of Medicine have made the Baylor name a leader in the world of healthcare.<\/p>\n About 1 in 3 Baylor undergraduate students enrolls planning to major in a health-related field, drawn by\u00a0the\u00a0university\u2019s long-held\u00a0reputation<\/a> for preparing students to thrive in healthcare careers. That’s one reason why, in 2014, Baylor Regents voted to establish the Robbins College of Health & Human Sciences<\/a> as the university’s 12th school or college, joining the long-lauded\u00a0Louise Herrington School of Nursing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, Baylor isn\u2019t only preparing tomorrow\u2019s healthcare industry leaders \u2014 they\u2019ve also prepared many of today\u2019s, including\u00a0both the CEO<\/a>\u00a0and president<\/a> of Baylor Scott & White, a former Baylor Health CEO<\/a>, the president of a system\u00a0of rehabilitation and nursing centers<\/a>, and\u00a0a retired U.S. Army major general<\/a> who served as Commanding General of the Army Medical Department and School, just for starters.<\/p>\n Other big names from Baylor’s past include\u00a0Dr. Michael DeBakey<\/a>, a\u00a0renowned Baylor cardiac surgeon who pioneered development of the artificial heart, and First Lieutenant Mary Louise Roberts<\/a>, a Baylor nurse who became the first woman in U.S. history to earn the Silver Star for heroic actions.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Baylor Health Care System, Baylor College of Medicine, and Baylor University!<\/p>\n You might also like:<\/strong><\/em> If you’ve spent much time in Texas, you know that Baylor University isn’t the only prominent organization using the Baylor name.
