New Baylor Health Center at North Dallas

With the center's opening, patients now can find care close to home.

The 70,000-square-foot health center allows Baylor Dallas to provide a wide range of health care services to residents of North Dallas and surrounding areas in a convenient setting close to home.

"People in Dallas respect the Baylor name and services we offer. We have many loyal patients from the North Dallas and Park Cities area, as well as potential patients we can assist with their health needs. We realize that it can be difficult for people to drive downtown to the main campus for everything" says John B. McWhorter III, president of Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas. "The purpose of establishing this new location in North Dallas is to allow people to take advantage of Baylor services with added convenience."

The Baylor Health Center at North Dallas is opening in phases. The first phase, opened in early September, includes a second location for the Darlene G. Cass Women's Imaging Center. Later in the year, a diagnostic imaging center, and a laboratory will open. Physician offices begin opening in December and January with physicians specializing in internal medicine, OB/GYN, dermatology and other medical specialties.

"With the OB/GYN physicians' offices and the breast imaging center in the same building, the Baylor Health Center at North Dallas offers women convenient 'one-stop' shopping for their annual gynecological checkups and mammograms," McWhorter adds.
