system's campus to serve as the symbolic front door of the hospital,
according to Ms. Donnell.
She says Baylor Scott & White has held several open house events
as the project neared completion to give the public an opportunity to
tour the new space and get a sneak peek at the high-tech facility.
"We're investing in the future of surgery and we want to show the
community what we're able to do for them, to give them confidence
that their local hospital can provide innovative care," she says. "That
has been an amazing experience."
Leadership at Baylor Scott & White had more than wowing patients
in mind when they decided to add new technologies, according to Ms.
Donnell. She says staff and surgeon retention, especially in today's
competitive healthcare landscape, were also key drivers of the new
project. She says nurses can't wait to start working in the new space
and surgical residents who trained at the health system are eager to
return after completing their fellowship training at facilities across the
country. "They'll bring back new ideas about how technology can help
us perform safer and more effective surgery."
Baylor Scott & White's investment in innovation will therefore con-
tinue to pay dividends, and the surgical evolution will continue.
