Methodist Mansfield Medical center celebrates 10th anniversary

WHAT:

Join Methodist Mansfield leaders and mayors of Arlington, Grand Prairie, Kennedale, Mansfield and Midlothian as they commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Methodist Mansfield. When Methodist Mansfield opened in Dec. 27, 2006, the 88-bed community hospital was Methodist Health System’s first health care facility in Tarrant County. Today, Methodist Mansfield has grown to a 254-bed hospital, offering some of the latest in medical technology and innovative treatments through dozens of specialties. The hospital recently added four new operating rooms with a focus on neurosurgery and minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery, as well as award-winning cardiology services at the Amon G. Carter Foundation Heart and Vascular Center.

In these ten years, the hospital has grown and achieved exceptional safety scores, outperformed other hospitals in key quality measures to provide the best patient care, and has become the preferred hospital in the area.

In the past decade, Methodist Mansfield has treated 772,498 total patients, 438,114 in the emergency departments, and delivered 15,136 babies.
