The hospital recently celebrated the grand opening of a $7.8-million expansion project that includes more than 200,000 square feet of new and renovated space for an Emergency Care & Chest Pain Center and a Women’s Imaging Pavilion. This expansion includes investments in the latest imaging technology, such as full-field digital mamography.

The hospital is the first in Texas to be a participating hospital for all three of the American Heart Association’s models of the Get With The Guidelines program: coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure.
