Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine Baylor Hospital Baylor Hospital has offered quality, comprehensive care with a caring, human touch since it first began.   Beloved citizen Dr. Minnie Lee Lancaster is remembered to have said, "Medicine is still an art, with science only a helpmate, and sad is the patient who meets a physician without an individual touch." Drs. Ed and Minnie Lancaster touched many lives by first opening the Grapevine-Clinic Hospital in 1953. And out of their dream and hard work evolved Baylor Regional Medical Center today. Both newcomers and Grapevine citizens have relied on Baylor Hospital for years, and now our neighbors in Northeast Tarrant, Southwest Denton, and Northwest Dallas counties also have access to quality medical care here in Grapevine. To reflect the addition of high-level tertiary care services, Baylor Hospital was officially renamed a regional medical center in 2004. Baylor currently serves residents in more than 20 cities thoughout the DFW region.

Prior to this unit, cardiovascular patients would go to multiple parts of the hospital to receive care. "What this (unit) represents is patient-centeredness," Philip Hecht, M.D. said. Baylor has other cardiovascular units as well as a dedicated heart hospital in the Dallas metroplex, but this is the first of its kind in northeast Tarrant County. Interventional Radiology Suite. This new interventional radiology suite will allow patients who come in for a diagnostic test or procedure to choose personalized decor for the wall of the exam room. The Ambient Experience Radiology Suite program patients will be able to push a button on a small screen and the color, lighting, music and scenery will change to their personal liking. Baylor Grapevine will be the third hospital in the country to offer this program, beginning July, 2009. Parking Garage.
