Below are some of the areas where philanthropic support made a meaningful impact last year:Graduate Medical Education: Texas will face a shortage of over 10,000 physicians by 2032. As the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, Baylor Scott & White is uniquely positioned to address these challenges. In the next 10 years, Baylor University Medical Center's (BUMC) graduate medical education program will train more than 3,000 physicians.

Generous donor support provides funding for residencies, fellowships, research and other educational opportunities for postgraduate medical education students at BUMC.High-Risk Breast Screening Program: To help women in North Texas better understand their personal risk and identify breast cancers at their earliest and most treatable stages, Baylor Scott & White Health launched a High-Risk Breast Screening Program in 2020.

By 2050 this is projected to be every 33 seconds. And yet, it's a diagnosis that can feel very isolating. Both individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease and the caregivers who support them need resources to walk through the challenging circumstances they face. Thankfully, Baylor Scott & White AT&T Memory Center has a comprehensive program to support patients with various types of dementia, and their families. Our compassionate team partners with patients and their families to equip them to navigate this disease through extensive cognitive testing, customized treatment plans, access to clinical trials and an array of resources for the emotional, physical, social, and financial well-being of our patients and their families. Having a one-stop shop for diagnosis, care, resources and support has proven to be invaluable for patients and their families and philanthropic support is key to these services.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$43.5M
