A New Clinic Location Focused on the Future
Baylor Scott & White is also in the early planning stages of a future home for expanded clinic-based care in Brenham. The new site will increase clinic capacity, add imaging services and create space for additional specialties over time.
The site’s location off Highway 290 and its proximity to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Brenham will help support more seamless, coordinated care.
A groundbreaking is expected for the fall of 2026, with construction completed by summer 2028.
“This planned clinic is more than a new building — it’s a vision for what accessible healthcare should be in Washington County,” said Jennings. “This site will give us the space to grow alongside the community, bringing more specialties, expanded services and greater convenience to families.”
