History
edit
Huguley is named after Herbert T. Huguley, a dentist and a real estate investor of Dallas, Texas who left his $6 million estate to the Seventh-day Adventist Church for the building of a hospital in honor of his parents.[3][1] In February 1977, Hugeley Memorial Medical Center opened by Interstate 35,[1][3] it was one of the first hospitals in the United States to have all private rooms.[4]
In late April 2012, Adventist Health System and Texas Health Resources created a joint venture company that owns and operates the hospital.[3][5][6] On April 18, 2013, Huguley Memorial Medical Center changed its name to Texas Health Huguley Hospital Fort Worth South.[3][5] On May 16, 2014, construction workers from The Beck Group began building a six-story, 234,000-square-foot hospital with 140 spacious beds to replace the older one. The top floor will be shelled space for expansion. The cost of the new hospital will be $95 million.[4] The newer hospital will have a women's services department on the second floor, medical and surgical floors, laboratory, lobby/registration area, an outpatient radiology center, gift shop and chapel.[4][7] On August 7, 2016, the new Texas Health Huguley Hospital Fort Worth South opened west of the older building.[7][8]
On February 22, 2022, construction workers began construction on a $75 million 116,000 square foot five-story patient tower with two of the floors to be shelled space for expansion. It was being built on the northwest side of hospital which on the day of construction had 327 beds.[9] The tower will increase the size of the emergency department from 24 to 44 beds and the ambulance bay would be increased from three to six bays. It will also have medical imaging and oncology treatment areas, a intensive care unit with 20 rooms and a dining room.[1][9][10] On January 24, 2024, Texas Health Huguley Hospital Fort Worth South had a ribbon cutting cermony for its new patient tower.[1][10]
