Temple Sanitarium
Scott and White opened the Temple Sanitarium in 1904 to build upon a growing private practice that served railroad employees passing through Temple. That year they purchased St. Mary's Catholic Convent and converted it for use as a full-time hospital. Corporately chartered in 1905 "for the study, prevention, relief, remedy and care of any and all human disorders and diseases", the sanitarium would eventually consist of 31 buildings scattered on five city blocks. The first female anesthesiologist to work in Texas and in the United States was Dr. Claudia Potter, hired on June 23, 1906.
On March 2, 1917, Dr. White died of a heart attack. Dr. Scott petitioned to change the name to the Raleigh White Memorial Hospital, in honor of his late partner, but instead it was changed to the Scott & White Memorial Hospital on October 13, 1922.

Scott, Jr., took over the presidency when his father died of a heart attack on October 27, 1940. On December 23, 1949, for-profit Scott & White Clinic was separated from non-profit Scott & White Memorial Hospital.
