(April 14, 2008)—King’s Daughters Clinic Monday became the latest area provider to join the Scott & White Health Plan, which means heath plan members may now use King’s Daughters clinic and King’s Daughter Hospital.
“Our commitment is to give patients personalized healthcare where they want it and when they want it. We are changing health care in Central Texas,” said Kristi Glover, CEO of King’s Daughters Clinic.
King’s Daughters Clinic has facilities in Killeen, Belton and Temple.
Late last summer, Waco’s Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center and 45 Hillcrest physicians joined the Scott & White Health Plan’s provider network and Scott & White confirmed it was in talks it hoped would lead to the acquisition of a third-interest in Killeen’s Metroplex Hospital.
Metroplex is operated by the Adventist Health System and includes both the 213-bed hospital in Killen as well as the 25-bed Rollins Brook Community Hospital in Lampasas.
Earlier this month, Scott & White took over responsibility this month for managing the Llano Memorial Healthcare System, including the 30-bed Llano Memorial Hospital.
The Llano County Hospital Authority Board will continue to govern the hospital.
Scott & White and Lake of the Hills Regional Medical Center reached an understanding in April 2007 and were ironing out details of a jointly owned and operated 120-bed acute care hospital.
Lake of the Hills Regional Medical Center is the non-profit entity the Llano County Hospital Authority created to build and operate the hospital.
It discussed the project with more than 20 potential partners before deciding on Scott & White.
The Lake of the Hills Regional Medical Center will be the centerpiece of the Crossroads Regional Medical Campus at the intersection of Highways 281 and 71 just south of Marble Falls, Scott & White said.
