FORT WORTH, Texas — The Medical City Alliance hospital plans to expand its emergency room, bringing shorter wait times to the growing Alliance community.
The hospital expects to break ground in March, and to complete the expansion by the end of the year, said Corey Koif, the hospital’s director of communications and community engagement.

The expansion will add eight beds to the emergency room, bringing the department’s total number of beds to 29, Koif said in an email. The project will also include a redesign of the hospital’s ambulance bays to include six total bays, three for drop-offs and three for staging. This change will enable “first responders to access the facility more efficiently,” Koif said.
ER visits at Medical City Alliance increased nearly 8% from 2023 to 2024, Koif said. The hospital is east of I-35W on the north side of the North Tarrant Parkway in north Fort Worth.
“This expansion reflects our ongoing investment in the communities we proudly serve,” Medical City Alliance CEO Glenn Wallace said in a prepared statement. “By expanding our ER, we help ensure that North Tarrant County and the surrounding areas continue to have access to exceptional, high-quality emergency care when and where they need it, close to home.”
