In the late 1970s, J. Pat Evans, M.D., then the team physician for the Dallas Cowboys, presented an idea to Boone Powell Sr., former executive director and senior consultant to Baylor University Medical Center. His dream was to build a sports medicine facility that would provide a medically based fitness center for treatment and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries as well as preventive physical conditioning facilities. Nearly 20 years later, the Baylor Tom Landry Center opened in January 1991 and was named for the former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry. The 320,000-square-foot complex is home to numerous physicians, in addition to the Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center.

Michael Hooker holds one of the special pillows provided to heart surgery patients by Caring Hearts at Baylor. The program, previously called Heart to Heart program, was established through a generous gift from Ernestine and Brad Wayne. Caring Hearts volunteers work in Baylor's cardiac intensive care and waiting rooms offering assistance to heart patients and their families. All volunteers are former heart patients or family members of former heart patients. The idea for this innovative group came from the Waynes' own experiences. In the mid-1980s, Brad underwent heart surgery in California, and five months later, Ernie discovered that she also needed heart surgery. She opted to come to Baylor.

Dr. Ruth Jackson trained in orthopaedics in Iowa prior to opening her private practice in Dallas in 1932. She joined the staff of Baylor in 1939. Dr. Jackson (pictured here in 1986) was a medical pioneer in a field still mostly made up of men. She was one of the founders of the Texas Orthopaedic Association, and she was the first female member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The Ruth Jackson Society carries on Dr. Jackson’s legacy. Forty-three female orthopaedic surgeons formed the society in 1983 as a support and networking group. The society promotes scientific, educational and charitable activities to advance the practice of orthopaedic surgery.
