Belkoura | Fort Worth Report)<\/p>\nMedical City Healthcare officials said their latest expansion aims to improve access to advanced medical care in the fast-growing Fort Worth area.<\/p>\n
Medical City Fort Worth celebrated the completion of a new $37 million expansion that includes a state-of-the-art catheterization laboratory and four new operating rooms. The new spaces allow hospital staff to better provide cardiovascular, surgical and critical care to patients, officials said at an Oct. 6 ribbon cutting.<\/p>\n
Alongside modern spaces for medical procedures, the expansion allows the 378-bed hospital to better serve the growing population of Tarrant and Parker counties, said John Hoover, CEO for Medical City Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to be able to keep up with the growth rate and drive high-quality improvement to human life on a day-to-day basis,\u201d Hoover said.<\/p>\n

The project, announced in October 2024<\/a>, started earlier this year. Medical City Fort Worth <\/a>provides emergency services, heart and vascular care, kidney transplants and orthopedic care, among others.<\/p>\n Additional expansion in the near future includes the construction of a $51 million parking garage set to break ground in 2026, Hoover said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Medical City Fort Worth was named<\/a> one of the 250 best hospitals in the country for 2023 by Healthgrades.<\/p>\n Fort Worth is not the only city in North Texas reaping the rewards of Medical City\u2019s investment. The system is investing $1.7 billion regionally over five years to improve and expand facilities across the region.<\/p>\n That includes a $144 million<\/a> project in Arlington for a new patient tower and other upgrades and a new $50 million mental health center<\/a> in the Alliance area. Other system projects are planned in Plano and Lewisville.<\/p>\n Dr. Reza Khalafi, director of cardiothoracic surgery at Medical City Fort Worth, said the recent hospital improvements allow doctors to better serve patients.<\/p>\n \u201cOur volumes are going up every year, and every year we\u2019re gonna need more and more spaces to get going with our patients,\u201d Khalafi said.<\/p>\n Mayor Mattie Parker stressed to those at the ribbon cutting that North Texas will soon have a larger population than the metro region of Chicago.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to have health care support from every single provider here in North Texas,\u201d Parker said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Medical City\u2019s growth coincides with other large investments<\/a> in Fort Worth\u2019s medical district. JPS Health Network, UT Southwestern, Baylor Scott & White Health, Cook Children\u2019s Health Care System and Texas Health Resources are all financing enhancements to facilities in the Medical District.<\/p>\n Ismael M.
