The new Parkland hospital is a 2.1-million-square-foot, 17-story facility with 862 beds, according to a news release. It will replace the current Parkland Memorial Hospital and incorporate “the latest healing concepts, quality and safety design features.”
Patients will be transitioned to the new Parkland hospital over the course of three days — Aug. 20, 21 and 22, according to a news release.
“The decision to transition patients over the course of three days is based entirely on the safety and well-being of our patients and their families,” Fred Cerise, MD, Parkland’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Our top priority is to ensure the absolute safety of all in our care as we make the move across Harry Hines (Boulevard) into the new Parkland hospital.”
