"With the addition of these new providers, we continue to increase access to safe, quality, high-value, convenient care for residents of Brenham and throughout Washington County," said Jason Jennings, president, Baylor Scott & White – College Station Region. "Expanding our footprint to Bellville is part of our growth strategy; but more importantly, it strengthens our commitment to the communities we serve."

The Brenham Clinic – Continuing Decades-long Legacy of Caring for the Community
Physicians from The Brenham Clinic said they are excited to join Baylor Scott & White and believe this will be a great opportunity for all involved.
"Combining The Brenham Clinic's 62 years of experience and patient confidence with Baylor Scott & White's position of strength in the Texas medical arena, we are ready to move forward together to serve the community," said Jeff Stoltenberg, MD, general surgeon at The Brenham Clinic, who has a history with the health system, having done his surgical residency at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.
"This is an exciting time for the medical community and patients in Brenham," said William Loesch, MD, internal medicine physician at The Brenham Clinic. "I trained in Temple and know firsthand that in this System, patients come first. I predict a long and happy relationship."
Donald Draehn, MD, pediatrician with The Brenham Clinic, said he too believes this is a great opportunity and, "the excellence in personal, empathetic care will continue for Brenham, Washington County and the surrounding area."
