Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children will build a facility in Frisco.[/caption]The Dallas-based Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children has started clearing land for its Frisco campus, but no new groundbreaking date has been set.
Scottish Rite originally planned to break ground on the new campus this spring.
The Frisco campus, at the northeast corner of Lebanon Road and the Dallas North Tollway, will be an extension of the original Dallas campus and will initially be used for outpatient services and day surgeries for children with orthopedic issues.
In a previous story, Robert Walker, Scottish Rite President and CEO, said the hospital chose to build in Frisco primarily because about 25 percent of the hospital’s patients are from areas north of Dallas.
“We have a pocket [of patients around Frisco] that are referred here, and of course hearing about and anticipating the future growth of that area, it appears that there is going to continue to be a great need in that area for the services we provide,” Walker said.
The 200,000-square-foot facility will sit on 40 acres of land just north of the future Wade Park development.
Scottish Rite is also planning for a sports treatment program to occupy the Frisco facility.
In September 2015, the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital Center for Excellence in Sports Medicine moved from its location inside Children’s Medical Center Plano to a larger facility at 7000 W. Plano Parkway, Plano.
The two-story, 15,000-square-foot facility in Plano is offering a number of specialized pediatric services until its operations can be moved to a permanent campus in Frisco.
Some of its services include treatment for sports-related orthopedic conditions and concussions.
