Wadley Regional Medical Center, a Steward Health Care hospital based in Texarkana, Texas, plans to build a $227 million hospital campus northwest of its current facility, according to a May 11 news release.
The 254,000-square-foot hospital will offer a range of medical services and house a 24/7 emergency room and maternity care suite. The new hospital is slated to have 123 beds with the ability to expand to 291 beds.
Plans also call for building a 143,000-square-foot medical office building on the campus.
Construction is slated to begin in September, with the campus opening in May of 2024.
"Wadley Regional plays a vital role in Texarkana as one of the region's largest employers and taxpayers, while serving as a central hub for patients, clinical experts and other partners to better the community's health, making this new facility a testament to the city's dynamic and forward-thinking strategic growth," said Sanjay Shetty, MD, president of Steward North America.
Steward Health Care is based in Dallas.
