Last week, Baylor Scott & White Health began offering primary care services at its clinic in San Marcos. Baylor Scott & White Clinic – San Marcos opened in January as the health system's third location in Hays County and southernmost facility. This location expands access to high-quality, coordinated Baylor Scott & White primary and specialty care for area residents. Clinic services include family medicine, pediatric gastroenterology and adult neurosurgery, as well as convenient access to diagnostic X-ray and laboratory services.
"With a clinic in Kyle and a hospital soon to open in Buda, we have demonstrated our commitment to Hays County," said Colleen Sundquist, regional vice president of clinic operations, Baylor Scott & White Austin/Round Rock. "We're proud to provide access to primary care services in San Marcos and excited to introduce the area to our integrated model."
Baylor Scott & White model provides greater care coordination using a single electronic medical record that allows hospital and clinic teams to work together seamlessly. "The coordinated model helps improve the patient experience and prevent unnecessary medical tests while aiming to reduce the time a patient spends in the hospital," said Sundquist.
"San Marcos is a growing community with students, retirees and families of all ages, which is why I was excited to move from New Braunfels," said Rachel McGinnis, family medicine physician, Baylor Scott & White Clinic – San Marcos. "I'm eager to begin building relationships with patients in the area to address their needs and help achieve their best possible health."
Baylor Scott & White Clinic – San Marcos, at 1340 Wonder World Drive Suite 2300, San Marcos, TX 78666, will be open Monday- Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. It is located roughly 15 miles south of Baylor Scott & White Clinic – Kyle and 20 miles south of the future location of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Buda, scheduled to open in 2019.
The new clinic joins more than 30 Baylor Scott & White facilities spanning Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties to provide for care for Central Texans. For more information on Baylor Scott & White's services in the Austin/Round Rock Region, visit: ATX.BSWHEALTH.COM
