Robert Conte Wellness Center
Construction is underway on a new wellness facility at the new Baylor Scott & White Clinic - Midtown in College Station.
As part of our dedication to the health and wellness of the communities we serve, Baylor Scott & White continues to invest in programs focused on healthy living. The Robert Conte Wellness Center will focus on health education, nutrition, and physical activity. Physicians at the adjacent primary care clinic—also currently under construction—will work hand in hand with health and wellness coaches to meet each patient’s specific needs in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
The center will feature several physician-referred educational programs designed to help patients manage chronic disease and make healthy choices. The first two programs will focus on movement disorders and obesity. Future plans also include fitness classes, healthy cooking classes, social events, and support groups.
The center will be named in honor of a generous gift by the late Dr. Robert Conte and his wife, Cindy. As a physician, Dr. Conte was passionate about helping people navigate what he called the “uncharted journey” of healthy aging. After after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he gained new perspective about the value of identifying tools for coping with his symptoms. The couple’s legacy is a place where patients can learn the skills to manage their own health with the support of a community of others with similar conditions.
