Texas Health Fort Worth to expand women’s health services
Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth will expand its women’s health services and the NICU, Texas Health Resources announced Monday.
The construction will add four floors to the John and Jane Justin Tower of the hospital at 1301 Pennsylvania Ave. The relocated and expanded women’s services center will include labor and delivery, nursery, dedicated operating rooms, antepartum, postpartum and gynecology rooms.
“This is more than a hospital expansion; it’s an investment in the health and future of our community,” said Josh Floren, chief operating officer of Texas Health’s Hospital Channel.
“Expanding Women’s Services helps support the journey of expectant mothers, gives newborns the safest possible start, and strengthens the health of families for generations to come. Adding patient rooms means families won’t have to travel far for critical care but can receive the specialized treatment they deserve, right here in our community.”
Additional construction will add 71 patient rooms and a Surgical Trauma Progressive Care Unit, which will provide care for patients who do not require intensive care, but are not stable enough for a general medical surgical unit.
The Justin Tower will remain operational during the construction, which is expected to be completed in 2029.
Expansion of the NICU, located in the Jones Tower, will begin after the completion of the Justin Tower. The expansion will add 32 new beds and is expected to open in 2030.
“We understand the journey to motherhood can be unpredictable, but we are steadfast in our commitment to provide quality, compassionate care for every mother and newborn, regardless of what challenges may arise,” said Amy Hailey, deputy chief nursing officer and professional services officer for Texas Health Fort Worth. “With this expansion, we’re excited we’ll be able to care for even more growing families.”
