The release states an increase in ER visits at Medical City Alliance between 2023-24 prompted the expansion to significantly reduce wait times. A groundbreaking for the expansion will happen in March and construction should be completed by the end of 2026, according to the release. The background The hospital was designated as a Level III trauma center by the Texas Department of State Health Services in 2020, its website states. Level III trauma centers offer orthopedic surgery, interven- tional radiology, laboratory services and radiology. The expansion is part of a $1.5 billion five-year improvement project for the Medical City Health- care system, according to the news release. Medical City Alliance serves residents in Fort Worth, Keller, Roanoke, Haslet, Saginaw and other surrounding communities in north Tarrant County and south Denton County.
Medical City Alliance is expanding its emer- gency care in the north Fort Worth area. The details The expansion will include adding eight more emergency room beds, which will bring the total number of beds to 29. The redesigned ambulance bays will feature six total bays that include three for dropoffs and three for staging, which will pro- vide more efficiency for first responders, according to a news release. The new facility is expected to break ground in the spring to support growing demand for the hospital and reduce wait times, the release states. “This expansion reflects our ongoing investment in the communities we proudly serve,” Medical City Alliance CEO Glenn Wallace said. “By expand- ing our ER, we help ensure that Tarrant County and the surrounding areas continue to have access to exceptional, high-quality emergency care when and where they need it, close to home.”
