Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Waxahachie, an expansion of the nationally recognized Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Dallas, is complete. 

Part of the largest network of dedicated cardiovascular care between Dallas and Waxahachie, Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Waxahachie offers several cardiovascular interventional services, peripheral vascular treatments and non-invasive services, such as echocardiography, echocardiograms and other non-invasive testing. New catheterization rooms and an outpatient nursing unit are all part of the expansion. 

"Heart disease is the region's primary cause of hospitalization, and patients have already benefitted from having local cardiologists. By adding sub-specialty physicians to the medical staff at our Ellis County hospital — such as interventional cardiologists that perform catheterizations and fellowship-trained vascular surgeons that treat peripheral artery and vascular disease — area residents will have expert heart care close to home," says Will Turner, president, Baylor Scott & White – Waxahachie. "Our care team will now be able to extend advanced cardiovascular care to our patients with the same level of quality patients receive at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular – Dallas." 

Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Dallas opened in 2002 as the first North Texas hospital dedicated solely to the care and treatment of heart and vascular patients. Providing inpatient and outpatient services focused on preventive heart health and comprehensive cardiovascular disease management, Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital cares for patients who travel nationally and internationally for heart care and treatment.
