We’re growing to give you
a better, brighter future
At Methodist Dallas Medical Center, our mission is to improve and
save lives through compassionate, quality health care. In 2012, we em-
barked on new, exciting pathways toward further achieving this goal.
Charles A. Sammons Trauma and Critical Care Tower
To further strengthen the health care safety net that Methodist
Dallas provides to the entire North Texas region, we broke ground
this year on this 248,000-square-foot tower, capable of treating
90,000 emergency, trauma, and critical care patients a year. Learn

Methodist Patient-Centered ACO
Methodist’s accountable care organization (ACO) was one of 89 in
the nation—and the only in Dallas–Fort Worth— selected in 2012
to participate in the federal Medicare Shared Savings Program. This
venture strives to keep patients healthy while controlling health care
costs and quality.
Methodist HomeCare
Methodist HomeCare will provide a full range of physician-directed
home health services to patients in the comfort of their own homes.
Methodist HomeCare is an independent, legal entity separate from Methodist
Health System, Methodist Dallas Medical Center, Methodist Charlton Medical
Center, Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, Methodist Richardson Medical
Center, and Methodist Hospitals of Dallas.
