Methodist Midlothian (Texas) Medical Center opened to patients this week, becoming the 12th hospital owned or affiliated with Dallas-based Methodist Health System. The facility is also the first hospital in Midlothian.
The hospital is a $175 million, five-story, 200,000-square-foot facility on a 67-acre campus. It will start off with 46 beds, but has the capacity to grow to 80 beds.
Methodist Midlothian offers a range of services, including emergency care, surgeries and labor and delivery.
The campus will expand to include a 45,000-square-foot medical office building.
Methodist said it will create 300 new jobs by the end of its first year in operation.
