Company History
It Began With A Calling to Serve and to Heal
In the 1930s, the Sisters of The Holy Family of Nazareth recognized the need for a hospital in Tyler, Texas. Working with far-sighted physicians and city leaders, the Sisters transformed their vision for a modern medical facility into reality. From the first day the hospital opened on March 18, 1937—one day ahead of schedule to care for victims of the New London School explosion—the mission has not wavered: to provide community health services with compassion, excellence and efficiency.
In 1934, The Trinity Clinic began as The Bryant Clinic. It was founded by two general practitioners, Dr. William Howard Bryant and Dr. Sidney W. Bradford. The Bryant Clinic received the first call for help in Tyler to treat the victims of the New London tragedy. In 1948, The Bryant Clinic changed its name to The Medical & Surgical Clinic. Today, Trinity Clinic is the area's preferred multi-specialty medical group, with over 250 physicians and mid-level providers representing 37 specialties in 36 clinic locations serving east Texas.
Our commitment to excellence has been recognized by numerous national awards for quality health care, including designations as a 100 Top Hospital for Performance Improvement by Thomson Healthcare (2006); National Benchmarks for Success award winner by Soluticient 2006; HealthGrades 2007 Distinguished Hospital Award for Patient Safety; winner of the 2007 Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Award; designation as a Blue Cross and Blue Shield Distinction Center for Cardiac Services and for Bariatric Services; National Research Corporation Consumer Choice winner; and among the top five percent in the nation for patient satisfaction by Press Ganey, Inc.
