Guests at the Methodist Richardson
expansion topping-out celebration
watched as the final beam, with flags
nodding to national and state pride,
was lowered into place. The new
hospital (above) is scheduled for its
grand opening in April.
Methodist Richardson Medical Center is adapting and growing to
meet patient needs with advanced technology and compassionate,
quality care. In 2013, we celebrated the topping-out and swift
construction of our new hospital, in particular. Here are just a few ways
the community will benefit when the facility opens its doors in April:
■
■
Space to serve.
The new facility will have an additional
266,575 square feet to serve the surrounding communities.
■
■
Round-the-clock labor and delivery services.
A dedicated women
and children’s services floor will focus on family-centered care. A
new partnership with OB Hospitalist Group ensures that a board-
certified obstetrician is on-site 24/7.
■
■
Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
We’ll offer 24-hour care
for premature infants as young as 24 weeks gestation.
Other ways we’ve extended our care reach in 2013 include:
■
■
New electrophysiology (EP) program.
Minimally invasive EP
studies analyze the heart’s electrical activity to pinpoint the origins
of abnormal heart rhythms and heart attacks.
■
■
Live Bright.
We’re bringing our wellness solutions to local
businesses, helping their employees achieve better health.
■
■
Four new Methodist Family Health Centers and Medical Groups.
These primary care clinics, located throughout the Metroplex,
provide a variety of services.
