Steward Health Care has plans to build a new $227m facility of its health care network Wadley Regional Medical Center in Texarkana, Texas, US.
Wadley catered to people in Texarkana for more than 120 years.
The hospital’s new facility is scheduled to break ground in September. Construction is estimated to occur for about 32 months with the opening planned for May 2024.
Along with a 143,000ft2 Medical Office building, the new Wadley will allocate 254,000ft2 for hospital services such as an emergency room, orthopaedics, cardiovascular, neurosurgery, maternity care and additional outpatient services.
The new building will have 123 beds with a scope for expansion to 291.
Wadley Regional Medical Center president Tom Gilbert said: “A new hospital in the fastest-growing part of Texarkana will further solidify Wadley Regional Medical Center’s legacy of providing high-quality care to our neighbours.
