Pflugerville's first hospital is set to open Dec. 1, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Pflugerville officials announced in a statement Nov. 16.

The hospital is located at 2600 E. Pflugerville Parkway, near SH 130.

Hospital staff including doctors, nurses and clinical staff will participate in simulation drills Nov. 19 ahead of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Pflugerville opening its doors.

According to hospital officials, staff will participate in practice common hospital scenarios. The staff will not know the scenarios prior to the simulations, though in a Nov. 16 press release hospital officials said those practices could include moving patients, preparing patients for anesthesia and responding to medical emergencies in the clinic.

Roughly 70 percent of the hospital staff at the upcoming medical center come from the Pflugerville community, according to Amy Wilkins, chief nursing officer, Baylor Scott & White-Pflugerville.

"They chose Pflugerville because they want to take care of Pflugerville," Wilkins told Community Impact Newspaper.

An integrated clinic connected to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Pflugerville opened in the beginning of October. That clinic features more than a dozen total physicians for treatment of orthopedics, general surgery, OB-GYN services and more.
