Ground Broken on Grand Prairie Emergency Medical Center

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas, and INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  – Joint venture partners Baylor Scott & White Health and Emerus, along with Duke Realty, have begun developing their seventh emergency medical center in Texas. They recently broke ground on a 27,149-square-foot facility in Grand Prairie, about 20 miles east of downtown Fort Worth.

The hospital will be located on a 2.385-acre site just off State Highway 360 in Grand Prairie. The two-story hospital, which will house a full-service emergency department, physician offices, an outpatient clinic and other medical services, is expected to be completed in summer 2017.

Baylor Scott & White and Emerus officials have worked with Duke Realty to develop and open six other emergency medical centers between 2014 and 2015 in the Texas cities of Keller, Murphy, Rockwall, Burleson, Colleyville and Mansfield.

The architect for the new community hospital is Philo-Wilke Partnership and the general contractor is Medco Construction.
