Scott & White is the largest multi-speciality practice in Texas, with more than 500 physicians who care for patients at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple and at its 15 regional clinics throughout Central Texas. As a multi-disciplinary group practice, the physicians of Scott & White are colleagues who share a tradition of caring for patients with complex illnesses, bringing their expertise in a wide range of medical disciplines together to determine the most effective treatments. Scott & White?s personnel strive to provide personalized, comprehensive, high quality healthcare, enhanced by medical education and research.

After working together as Surgeons at Santa Fe Hospital in Temple, Dr. Arthur C. Scott and Dr. Raleigh R. White entered into full partnership in 1897. They worked with King's Daughters Hospital until 1904. That same year, Dr. Scott and Dr. White opened their own hospital, the Temple Sanitarium, in Temple and later purchased and converted the abandoned St. Mary's Catholic Convent for use as a permanent hospital. In 1906, Dr. Claudia Potter, who would become the first female anesthesiologist in both Texas and the United States, was hired at the Temple Sanitarium.

In 1922, the name of the Temple Sanitarium was changed to the Scott & White Memorial Hospital. Another Scott & White first occurred on August 23, 1933, when the American College of Surgeons approved the institution as the first cancer diagnostic and treatment center in Texas. In 1949, it was reorganized into the non-profit Scott & White Memorial Hospital and the for-profit Scott & White Clinic. And in 1963, the institution was moved to its current location atop the hill in south Temple.

Research has always played a key role at Scott & White, helping ensure the best possible care for its patients. Through its affiliation with The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center College of Medicine, physicians are involved in clinical trials that focus on improving patient care, treatment outcomes and medical safety. Furthermore, Scott & White physicians are pioneers in applying technology to healthcare with innovations.
