ARLINGTON, Texas and LEWISVILLE, Texas, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the country's largest non-profit health systems, Texas Health Resources, and the nation's leading operator of freestanding emergency rooms, Adeptus Health (NYSE: ADPT), today announced a joint venture to increase access to high quality, convenient emergency medical care in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Under the joint venture, Adeptus Health's 27 freestanding First Choice Emergency Rooms in North Texas, and its First Texas Hospital in Carrollton, will become aligned with Texas Health, which is made up of 25 acute-care and short-stay hospitals throughout North Texas.
