Mission Statement

Mission: Founded as a Christian ministry of healing, Baylor exists to serve all people through exemplary health care, education, research and community service. Vision: Baylor?s vision for the future is to be trusted as the best place to give and receive safe, quality, compassionate health care. Baylor Health Care System has a rich and distinguished history. It started in 1903 with Dr. George W. Truett who was a pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas and a gifted speaker. He worked diligently soliciting contributions for a "great humanitarian hospital." Dr Truett was a member of the Baylor Hospital board of trustees until his death in 1944. Dr. G. W. Truett?s challenge resounds today as it did 100 years ago, "Is it not now time to build a great humanitarian hospital ? one to which men of all creeds and those of none may come with equal confidence?" Baylor Health Care System has been a pioneer in the North Texas area ever since. Following its mission and vision, Baylor has become a leader in health care. Baylor Medical Center at McKinney will follow the steps of its parent organization.
