Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, part of Texas Health Resources, is planning a $223 million renovation and expansion. Plans call for building a new five-story patient tower with space for growth.
The tower will be built at the Virginia Clay Dorman Breast Care Center at 6100 Harris Pkwy. in southwest Fort Worth. Two of the patient floors of the new tower will add 64 beds and are expected to open in 2028. The rest of the floors will be shell space for additional beds.
Part of the reason for expansion comes down to growth, said Ajith Pai, president of Texas Health Southwest. The opening of Chisholm Trail Parkway in 2014 and the toll road connecting Fort Worth to Cleburne has spurred booming population growth. By 2045, southwest Fort Worth is expected to add about 90,000 people, according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
Texas Health Southwest completed an electrophysiology and cardiac catheterization expansion and renovation project to meet the demand for cardiovascular services last year, refurbished its cafeteria and renovated its neonatal intensive care unit to double capacity.
