Letter from the President
At Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center, we’re lucky to witness moments that remind us why we’re here—stories of dedication, compassion, and the impact one person can have on so many lives. In this issue of The Compass, we’re proud to share two such stories—one rooted in family and tradition, the other focused on innovation and growth.
First, you’ll meet Dr. Bea Kutzler, one of our most respected OB/GYNs, and her daughter, Dr. Annelise Kutzler, now in her second year of residency. Their journey — working side by side to care for patients — Is a moving example of how the calling to heal can span generations. It’s a story that speaks to the heart of what we do.
We’re also excited to share an update on the expansion of our Endoscopic and Pulmonary Services. With construction underway, we’re transforming the space that housed our former Emergency Department into a modern, patient-focused space that will allow us to serve more people, offer advanced procedures, and enhance education for the next generation of physicians.
Both stories reflect the spirit of All Saints—where legacy and progress go hand in hand. Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support makes everything we do possible.
Amy Adkins
President,
Baylor Scott & White All Saints Health Foundation
How you can continue to make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of patients and communities across our community.
