Administrators at Baylor Scott & White Health provides updates on new construction and new medical providers in their College Station region. 

Region president Jason Jennings says construction has started on the expansion of the College Station hospital's emergency room. This involves 11 new exam rooms, two new trauma bays, and a new private treatment room. 

Jennings says the first phase of the medical building that is nicknamed "The Plaza" is on track to being completed in time to start seeing patients in early 2025. This building will include spaces for clinic rooms, a sleep center, therapy services, lab and future growth, along with a day surgery center.

The region's chief medical officer, Dr. Seth Sullivan, says there is a net increase of 28 new medical providers so far this year.

Sullivan also said in February, the team at Texas Brain & Spine Institute (TBSI) became part of the Baylor Scott & White family. TBSI was formed in 2005 to deliver neurosurgical solutions in patient care, education and research.

Jennings says with the additional providers and support staff, Baylor Scott & White's employment in the College Station region is more than 2,200.
