As part of the facility expansion and renovation plan, Methodist Charlton Medical Center will invest $8.5 million to add 36 new patient care beds in the recently opened patient care tower; relocate the postcoronary intensive care unit at a cost of $2.8 million to support expanded cardiology services; and spend $16 million to support the addition of a specialty care unit. The project will increase the hospital’s overall operational bed capacity from 259 beds to 294 beds. Methodist Charlton will begin construction immediately with expected completion in fall 2012.
In addition, Methodist Dallas Medical Center will commit more than $108 million to expand its emergency, critical care and surgery departments with a new six-story trauma and critical care center. The 248,000-square-foot trauma and critical care center will include 58 new emergency room beds, six trauma suites, eight surgical suites, a 36-bed critical care unit and the ability to expand to 11 stories for future growth. Methodist Dallas expansion and improvements are scheduled to begin construction in early 2012 with completion in summer 2014.
