Medical Center of Lewisville

     Construction of a new four story patient tower and power plant has been completed at the Medical Center of Lewisville.  This new completed project is now part of the entrance to The Historic Downtown Lewisville area, better known as Old Town Lewisville.  The project began with the acquisition of 51 residential properties south of the current hospital as well as other acquisitions that include the office complex at 250 S. Stemmons Freeway, a gas station, a check cashing center, a brake shop, and a retail strip center all located on the access road of IH35.

The tower, which is on the West side of the existing facility on Main Street, is constructed so that three more floors can be added in the future.  The first floor will house registration, laboratory, pharmacy and respiratory therapy departments as well as a new kitchen and cafeteria.  The second floor will be 14 Labor, Delivery, and Recovery (LDR) rooms and a 16-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level III Nursery).  The third floor will also be dedicated to Women's Services with 28 private post-partum rooms, a normal newborn nursery, and a 10-bed pediatric unit.  The fourth floor of the new tower will house a 32-bed medical/surgical unit.  With the new addition,  the Medical Center of Lewisville has expanded its bed capacity to 206 beds and all beds are private.

Lewisville is only a portion of the population that the Medical Center of Lewisville provides for.  The service area includes:  Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lake Dallas, Denton, The Colony, Corinth, Coppell, Argyle, North Carrollton and Little Elm.

Trinity Medical Center

                During the 11 years Trinity Medical Center has been part of the Metrocrest community, its campus and services have continually grown and expanded. From newborns, with a level III Neonatal Care Unit, to geriatrics, Trinity Medical Center offers comprehensive health care services for every family member.  

                At Trinity Medical Center, some of the area's finest specialists in the fields of infertility, pediatrics, geriatrics and women's health are part of its medical team. Comprised of more than 400 physicians representing 37 specialties, and supported by a dedicated team of nurses and allied health professionals, the medical staff at Trinity Medical Center understands the importance of prompt and comprehensive care.  

                Along with its 149-bed acute care facility, Trinity's 60-acre campus includes three office buildings, The Women's Center, the Trinity Senior Healthcare Center, a full-service pharmacy, the 180-bed Brookhaven nursing facility and the Trinity Easter Seal Society for Children. And, Trinity Medical Center is expanding into neighboring communities like Lewisville, with Trinity West Medical Plaza; The Colony, with The Colony Family Medical Center; and Frisco, with the Frisco Family Medical Center.  

                Trinity Medical Center is also partnering on its third medical plaza in Denton County. The new Trinity Flower Mound Medical Plaza is a venture between Trinity Medical Center and Harpavat Investment management. The 47,000 square-foot, three story building is located on a 12-acre site near FM 1171 and FM 2499 in Flower Mound, and is the first major medical complex in this rapidly growing community of 40,000.

                Trinity Flower Mound Medical Plaza will serve as a satellite facility for Trinity Medical Center and offer a range of outpatient services, including radiology, laboratory, physical therapy, occupational medicine, sports medicine and women's services, as well as an urgent care center. In addition to medical services, Trinity Flower Mound Medical Plaza will also house a wide range of primary and specialty physician offices. 

Cook Children's Medical Center

                Cook Children's Medical Center is the cornerstone of the health care system. The 181-bed facility offers access to board certified pediatricians representing more than 40 medical specialties. The medical center, which serves children primarily from a 90-county area in north and west Texas, has nationally recognized programs in hematology and oncology, cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, and neonatolgy. The medical center also has a neuro-rehabilitation program, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, a level II pediatric trauma receiving center, and a comprehensive bone marrow transplantation program. Cook Children's Transport Services is one of the busiest pediatric programs in the nation with more than 1,700 runs annually by ambulance, helicopter, and airplane.

                 More than 185,000 children received treatment at the medical center in 2003. No children are refused necessary medical treatment based on their parent's inability to pay, and in 2003, Cook Children's provided more than $48.9 million of uncompensated care for uninsured or underinsured children. This number has more than doubled over the past six years and continues to rise at a significant rate. 

Baylor Medical Center at Grapevine

                At the center of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, just 21 miles northwest of Dallas and 19 miles northeast of Fort Worth, Baylor Medical Center at Grapevine is an acute care, full-service hospital licensed for 104 beds.

The medical staff represents most major specialties, including family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, cardiology, oral surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, internal medicine, otolaryngology, general surgery, orthopedics and gastroenterology.
