Affiliation
Cleveland Clinic’s Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart and Vascular
Institute, named the number one heart hospital in the country for
21 years, recognized the quality of Baylor Scott & White through an
alliance with three Baylor Scott & White Health hospitals.
This alliance creates a unique and innovative collaboration involving
academic, clinical and research components. Baylor Jack and Jane
Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital, along with Baylor University
Medical Center at Dallas and The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano, now
work closely with Cleveland Clinic’s heart program to share best
practices and provide quality cardiovascular care to patients across the
greater Texas and Oklahoma region.
Together the three Baylor hospitals, through the Cleveland Clinic’s
Cardiovascular Specialty Network, are the exclusive provider for Texas
and Oklahoma cardiac patient referrals.

individual contribution and
accountability

Circle of Care
Our “Circle of Care” encompasses our mission, vision, and priorities, and places
our patients front and center. Our mission supports this patient-centered approach.
We recognize that there are four key areas of excellence that must be in place to make
patients our number one priority: people, quality, service and fiscal stewardship.
To do that, we support and care for patients as individuals. We promote a healing
environment in which members of the health care team work together as one for
the benefit of the patient. We adopt best practices and industry standards that
support and sustain a patient-centered culture. During the strategic planning
process, the leadership at Baylor Heart and Vascular Services at Dallas and
Fort Worth uses the Circle of Care as a framework to identify the principal factors
that will determine success relative to sustainability; taking into consideration the
organization’s position in the marketplace and its competitors.
