Our Mission
Circle of Care
To operate an integrated heart and vascular health
care delivery system, founded as a Christian Ministry
of healing, which exists to serve people by offering a
continuum of quality service committed to quality care
and patient safety, medical education, research and
community service.
Our Values
The values for Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and
Vascular Hospital, together with Baylor University Medical
Center at Dallas and Baylor Scott & White All Saints
Medical Center – Fort Worth, guide our actions as we
remain faithful to our mission and work toward our vision.
Integrity ������������ Conducting ourselves in an ethical and
respectful manner
Servanthood ������ Serving with an attitude of unselfish
concern
Teamwork ��������� Valuing each other while encouraging
individual contribution and
accountability
Innovation �������� Discovering new concepts and
opportunities to advance our mission
Stewardship ������ Managing resources entrusted to us in a
responsible manner
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.
Excellence ��������� Delivering high quality care while
striving for continuous improvement
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.
