Baylor Scott and White - Cardiac Rehabilitation

Patient-centered focus and quality care

Our founding principles of compassion, honesty, transparency and—above all else—patient-centered care, guide us as an institution. Being recognized by local, regional and national organizations for these attributes brings a credibility and prestige to our hospital that you can count on. We also have a growing number of certifications and accreditations. A list of our most recent heart and vascular awards and accolades are noted below.

Our patient-centered focus and quality care are sustained through the compassion and dedication displayed by our tireless team of nurses and other staff members, as well as the physicians on our medical staff. We are proud to announce the hospital has been recognized three times by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for the Magnet® Recognition Program.
Just 452 US healthcare organizations out of more than 6,300 U.S. hospitals have achieved Magnet recognition, and approximately 34% of the Magnet-recognized organizations that have attempted three or more designations have been successful.
