Texas Health Resources will build a new hospital in Willow Park, the hospital system announced Thursday.

The hospital is expected to open in 2028, and will be near Texas Health’s existing orthopedic and spine surgery center and emergency department in Willow Park.

The hospital will serve the rapidly growing Parker County.

Texas Health Resources is one of the largest health systems in North Texas.

“Efforts are underway to develop a unified and comprehensive plan for the Willow Park campus, aiming to leverage its existing strengths while introducing new services to meet the evolving needs of this growing community,” Barclay Berdan, Texas Health CEO, said in a statement.

The new hospital will include Texas Hip and Knee, a Texas Health Physicians Group orthopedic practice that will specialize in complex joint replacement, according to a news release from the 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,” Dr. Shawn Parsley, president and chief operations officer of Texas Health Physicians Group, said in a statement.

The existing Texas Health facilities in Willow Park opened 10 years ago to serve Willow Park, Weatherford, Aledo, Hudson Oaks and Annetta. According to a news release from Texas Health, the facilities include 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.
