History

Scott & White began 105 years ago as the care provider for the Santa Fe Railroad. It evolved into a state of the art diagnostic and surgical referral center serving most of Central Texas. The Texas A&M University System College of Medicine became affiliated with Scott & White in 1977, resulting in the excellent clinical training of a generation of physicians. The Scott & White Health Plan was born in 1981, and has grown to serve over 186,000 members.

The Family Medicine Residency began in 1987 with just two residents. From these humble beginnings, it has grown substantially to include eighteen residents. Residents are trained in the full spectrum of family medicine. Additionally, the residents have the unique opportunity to truly become a part of academic research and grow to critically assess the medical literature. The outpatient clinic, while technologically advanced, still retains the feel of a small-town clinic.

The result is a multi-specialty group of over 500 physicians, a 472-bed hospital, a healthy working relationship with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine and a solid health plan. The success Scott & White has enjoyed is witnessed by the fact that we are in the process of building a new hospital, ambulatory surgery center and new regional clinics. All this in what is considered a difficult time for growth in medicine.
