The expansion project will include constructing Texas Health Frisco, a 325,000-square-foot, 80-bed acute care hospital, which will house an emergency department, a neonatal intensive care unit, surgical services and women’s care. The hospital will be designed to expand to 140 beds as the community grows.
In addition, the UT Southwestern Medical Center at Frisco location will add a multispecialty clinic complex to provide neurological services, cancer screening services and treatments, pediatric specialty services and rehabilitation therapies. A parking garage and surface lot will also be included in the expansion project.
“Texas Health and UT Southwestern will bring a unique healthcare campus to the people of Frisco and surrounding areas,” said Barclay Berdan, CEO of Texas Health Resources. “Many attributes make this campus unlike any other, including the depth of medical expertise, elements that promote health, restoration and well-being as well as every detail designed with the consumer and patient in mind … It’s a perfect fit for Frisco.”
The construction of the health campus is expected to be completed in 2019.
