Medical City Alliance
The hospital is in the final planning stages of adding eight beds to the ER unit to bring the total number of beds to 29, Medical City Alliance director of communications Corey Koif said. Construction includes revamping the ambulance bays for easier transportation of patients, as well.
The updates are expected to begin at the end of the year and be finished in January 2027.
Medical City Alliance has 70 acres of undeveloped land that will eventually be used for further expansions at a later date, said Janet St. James, assistant vice president of public relations and media communications for Medical City Healthcare.

The Alliance location launched the TeamBirth program in January, which utilizes a decision-making model with planning boards and “huddles” for open dialogue between the care team and patients during and after delivery, Texas Health officials said.
“Every mother deserves to have a safe and memorable birth experience, and we are delighted to be among the first in the state to implement the program at our facility,” said Clint Abernathy, president of Texas Health Alliance.
