Work is underway on the new patient tower at Medial City Plano located at a corner of 15th Street and Coit Road.

The $107 million 4-story tower will give you 138,000 sq ft of space for 90 patient beds, additional operating and recovery rooms and expanded oncology services. Completion is expected within the fall of 2023.

\”Medical City Plano has treated generations from Collin County and beyond, since opening our doors 43 years back as Plano's first hospital,\” said Charles Gressle, CEO of Medical City Plano. \”We have a proud history of expanding our services to satisfy the growing healthcare needs in North Texas. Because the very indepth hospital in Collin County, it is within our culture to become innovative and anticipate future interest in innovative treatment designed to cure and to keep our community healthy.\”

Much from the hospital expansion project is going to be pre-constructed offsite, a modern strategy to accelerate progress while minimalizing construction interference to existing operations.

Construction officially began Wednesday April 26 when Medical City Plano hosted a ground-breaking ceremony that paid tribute to cancer patients, survivors and those who love and care for them. Ashley Moore, a 33-year old mother of two and former Medical City Plano cancer patient discussed how successful treatment of her Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma prompted a life-changing decision. Moore has become a student nurse, working part-time at Medical City Plano while she attends school.

Medical City Healthcare President Erol Akdamar, Medical City Plano CEO Charles Gressle, hospital trustees, Community Advisory Council Members, hospital physicians, staff and community leaders all taken part in the groundbreaking ceremony.
