Baylor Scott & White Health announces the first name change among its Collin County hospitals. Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano is now Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Plano. This facility, which opened in December 2004, is part of the health care system’s North Texas division.

To celebrate the new name and 11th anniversary, the hospital will officially illuminate its new external signs at a special event Tuesday, December 1.

“Eleven years ago, we opened these hospital doors for the first time,” said Jerri Garison, hospital president. “Today’s events not only celebrate a new name but also recognize the service given to the community for more than a decade by the clinicians and staff who practice the art of medicine here.”

The nonprofit health system—the largest in Texas—will rename all of its 49 hospitals over time in a fiscally responsible way.

“We at Baylor Scott & White Health are proud to have deep roots here in Texas, with facilities like Plano that are cornerstones of the communities they serve,” said Joel Allison, CEO of Baylor Scott & White Health. “But we are equally excited about the future. Every Baylor Scott & White sign that goes up, including this one, takes us one step closer to our goal of creating a new, exemplary health system to serve as a model for others around the country to follow.”
