Walnut Hill Medical Center (WHMC), a 100-bed full service hospital located in Dallas, Texas, is slated to open in April 2014 at the north-east corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Greenville Avenue.
The new eight-storey, 200,000ft² facility will provide a wide range of medical and surgical services including cardiovascular, gynaecologic, imaging, general surgery, emergency medicine and intensive care.
The facility encompasses 84 private patient suites, a 16-bed intensive care / critical care unit, ten-bed full service emergency department, six operating suites, cardiovascular operation room (OR), five cardiovascular suites, two cardiac catheterisation labs, two electrophysiology labs, one hybrid suite and a sleep laboratory.
Strong collaboration between physicians, administration, staff and the community has paved the way for the design of WHMC.
WHMC’s lobby and patient care units, including ICU/CCU, are bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of surrounding parks and neighbourhoods.
The interior of WHMC features richly coloured wood and earth tones to create a soothing environment.

Additionally, each suite is equipped with a sofa that converts to a twin bed, enabling a family member to stay with the patient.
WHMC CEO Cory Countryman said that more than a decade ago, a group of health care leaders decided to turn their vision of health care into reality.
"They envisioned a place where health care providers could come together as a community to care for patients and each other," Countryman added.
"Combining the latest in medical technology with world-class customer service, our founders felt that they could create a special place where they could improve health and enrich lives."
