Sharing our resources with the local and worldwide community

Baylor Scott & White Health employees have consistently affirmed the organization's mission and ministry as an influential factor in their work.

In addition, Baylor Scott & White has consistently supported its employees' passions and invested in partnerships in Texas, the United States and around the world that reflect its commitment to health and healing.

The system started Faith in Action Initiatives (FIAI) to maximize its impact locally and worldwide by providing employees spiritual development, volunteer opportunities and prioritizing the wide array of partnership/support opportunities in order to invest system resources wisely, avoid waste and duplication of efforts.

Second life resources

Baylor Scott & White Health is a very blessed hospital organization with a constant influx of new equipment and supplies. We receive recyclable equipment from the various hospitals, sort through those materials at the FIAI Second Life Resource Centers and freely provide these supplies to worthy opportunities on the local as well the international scenes. Local missions can oftentimes utilize our office furniture and filing systems. Dozens of non-profit organizations have benefited from second life resources in the past year.

FIAI in South Sudan

In the spring of 2013, FIAI gathered an inventory of medical supplies, exam tables and operating bed for a new hospital in South Sudan. A 40-foot container was loaded and shipped to serve the people of South Sudan who often pass away from common illnesses and medical procedures.
