One of the healthcare systems in North Texas has a new name.
HCA North Texas is now known as Medical City Healthcare.
The new name is effective immediately and affects 13 North Texas hospitals and seven off-campus hospital ERs.
The Medical City Healthcare system also includes 11 ambulatory surgery locations, six children’s urgent care centers and the CareNow urgent care network.
A spokesperson says a unifying name change coincides with a major capital investment initiative of more than $1.5 billion spent or committed over three years.
Investments include expansion and improvements to existing hospitals, new services such as burn and trauma care, upgraded technology, and purchasing two new facilities.
On Monday, the healthcare system announced plans to build a Women’s Hospital.
The $125 million Women's Hospital will add five floors to the top of Care Tower D at Medical City Dallas and will feature a total of 222 patient rooms.
