Medical City Arlington (Texas) has finished the expansion of its emergency department, part of a larger $100 million expansion and renovation project.
"Medical City Arlington is committed to being the healthcare leader in the Arlington community and surrounding area," said CEO Keith Zimmerman. "This expansion provides for needed capacity and leading edge technology as we move toward a Level II trauma designation."
The hospital is currently the only Level III trauma center in Arlington.
The ED expansion includes the addition of an onsite computerized tomography scanner, which will allow radiologists to conduct exams in the department and provide physicians with faster imaging results. The project also includes the addition of a separate suite for pediatric emergency care, which includes a separate entrance, waiting area and six private pediatric rooms.
