Willow Park: Texas Health announces plans for new hospital

Texas Health Resources has announced plans for a new hospital in Willow Park on land near its present facility at Crown Pointe and I-20.

That, in addition to Texas Health Orthopedic & Spine Surgery Center in Willow Park, will create a medical campus in the community.

According to a press release announcing the new hospital,

Texas Health Resources, a faith-based, nonprofit health system, cares for more patients in North Texas than any other provider. The release pointed out that Parker County has been among the fastest growing counties in the state.

Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Willow Park opened its doors a decade ago, providing outpatient and emergency care to Willow Park, Weatherford, Aledo, Hudson Oaks, and Annetta. It includes an emergency department, fitness center and three-story medical office building and provides services including cardiac rehabilitation, behavioral health, physical therapy, laboratory services and advanced imaging.

At the time it opened, plans were to eventually add a hospital to the site.

Texas Hip and Knee, a Texas Health Physicians Group orthopedic practice specializing in complex joint replacement, will be a part of the new Willow Park hospital.

“Texas Health is committed to providing care that is aligned with the specific needs of the community and creating a new location for destination orthopedic services for residents of Willow Park and surrounding communities is a natural fit,” said Shawn Parsley, D.O., president and chief operations officer of Texas Health Physicians Group.

The new hospital is part of Texas Health’s larger growth initiative to ensure that access to health services keeps pace with the needs of a growing North Texas. This includes the construction of an eight-story tower at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano, five-story tower at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, as well as expansion projects at other Texas Health facilities. Construction also recently started on Texas Health Hospital Forney, the city’s first acute care hospital. 

“North Texans deserve quality care close to home and Texas Health is excited to embark on this next chapter of growth to meet patients where they are with an array of services to fill their needs,” Berdan said.
