The existing Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Willow Park.
The facility will be constructed near Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Willow Park and Texas Health Orthopedic & Spine Surgery Center Willow Park, forming a new medical campus.
The hospital is expected to open in 2028.
"Efforts are underway to develop a unified and comprehensive plan for the Willow Park campus, aiming to leverage its existing strengths while introducing new services to meet the evolving needs of this growing community,” said Texas Health CEO Barclay Berdan in a statement.
Parker County is among the fastest-growing counties in the state. Its estimated 2024 population of nearly 180,000 represents an increase of about 32,000 from the 2020 census.
Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Willow Park opened a decade ago, providing outpatient and emergency services for residents of Willow Park, Weatherford, Aledo, Hudson Oaks, and Annetta. The facility includes an emergency department, fitness center, medical office building, and services such as cardiac rehabilitation, behavioral health, physical therapy, laboratory services and advanced imaging.
Texas Hip and Knee, a Texas Health Physicians Group orthopedic practice specializing in complex joint replacement, will be part of the new hospital.
“Texas Health is committed to providing care that is aligned with the specific needs of the community and creating a new location for destination orthopedic services for residents of Willow Park and surrounding communities is a natural fit,” said Shawn Parsley, president and chief operations officer of Texas Health Physicians Group.
The new Willow Park hospital is part of Texas Health’s larger expansion initiative across North Texas. Projects underway include an eight-story tower at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano, a five-story tower at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, expansion projects at other Texas Health facilities, and the recently started construction of Texas Health Hospital Forney, the city’s first acute care hospital.
“Texas Health is excited to embark on this next chapter of growth to meet patients where they are with an array of services to fill their needs,” Berdan said.
