Baylor Scott & White to invest $200 million in Round Rock hospital

Baylor Scott & White Health, a Texas health care system, will invest $200 million in its Round Rock facility.

The details: BSWH has plans for projects at 13 Texas facilities, totaling up to $2.5 billion, according to Williamson county documents.

The $200 million dedicated for the Round Rock hospital could help finance or refinance construction and expansion of the physical facilities as well as health care equipment, according to county documents.

What happened: Williamson County commissioners approved the issuance of the bonds from the Tarrant County Cultural Education Facilities Finance Corp. at a meeting Nov. 18. Federal law required approval of the bonds, but Williamson County will not be held financially responsible for them.

The finance corporation is a nonprofit created in 2003 under the Texas Cultural Education Facilities Finance Corporation Act.

Also of note: BSWH also dedicated $55 million for the Pflugerville medical center in neighboring Travis County.
