“Medical City is a trusted name with an immediately recognizable reputation for quality health care,” Medical City Healthcare President Erol Akdamar said in a news release. “We’ve always been a family, and now the public and our patients will be able to immediately identify our expansive system of care in their own communities.”
The name change coincides with a capital investment of more than $1.5 billion to expand and improve existing hospitals, update technology, purchase two new facilities and add new services, which include burn and trauma care.
“We are committed to the care and improvement of human life,” Akdamar said. “As demand for health care has increased in recent years, these investments reinforce and reflect the strength of our combined resources to offer North Texans a full continuum of high-quality, compassionate care.”
With the resources of HCA, Medical City Healthcare now has more than 7,000 active physicians and more than 14,000 employees in Dallas-Forth Worth making it one of North Texas’ largest health care providers, according to the release.
The name change is effective immediately among 13 Dallas-Fort Worth hospitals and seven off-campus hospital emergency rooms, including locations in Plano, Frisco and McKinney. The following hospitals and ER’s will see inside and outside signage replacements in the following weeks:
