Leaders in cardiovascular care

Caring for hearts in Texas and beyond since 2007

Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital began with a single location in Plano, Texas, with a mission to deliver world-class heart care. More than 15 years later, we have expanded to three locations. Our team includes 141 physicians who have treated patients from 46 states and 12 countries.

Our success would not be possible without dedicated leadership, who supports The Heart Hospital through continued investments in clinical research, new and emerging medical technologies, robust education programs, and innovative services that allow us to address the physical, social and emotional needs of everyone who walks through our doors.
