Two facilities mark milestones

Two Texas Health outpatient care facilities celebrate milestone anniversaries this year.

Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Burleson opened April 1, 2010. Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Willow Park opened Jan. 19, 2015. Both facilities operate as part of Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.

Blake Windham, M.A., MBA, FACHE, administrator, integrated health campuses, said many of the employees who helped open both locations are still there today.

“I am so proud of our teams at both facilities,” Windham said. “They have been doing their life’s best work for all these years and it shows. Our patients and the communities we serve are the winners.”

Highlights at Texas Health Burleson include more than 286,000 visits completed at its Emergency Department. Also, almost 10,000 patients across the region have used the facility’s Open MRI, which offers advanced imaging for claustrophobic and bariatric patients. Patients have come from communities all around the area, including Stephenville, Grapevine, Mansfield, Fort Worth and Austin.
