Medical City Arlington CEO Sharn Barbarin said: “After almost 50 years of providing healthcare excellence, our hospital is proud to continue to invest in the future of the Arlington community.
“This new patient tower will provide additional accommodations for our world-class caregivers in a variety of specialties, further enabling compassionate, clinically excellent services when and where our community needs them, close to home.”
Medical Center Arlington, which is a Level II Trauma Center with an emergency department that provided treatment for nearly 107,000 patients last year, is located in the Arlington and Tarrant County region to offer care for trauma, neuro-trauma, cardiovascular and medical or surgical patients.
Last year, the hospital improved its robotic surgery options and introduced the Centre for Lung Health that offers consultations and care coordination.
The tower is part of Medical City Healthcare’s major capital investment project, which includes building extensions, facility renovations, and advanced technology worth over $1.4bn spent or pledged over five years.
