Methodist Midlothian Medical Center announced a $24.8 million investment to expand emergency services and inpatient capacity—marking the next chapter in the hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality care close to home for Midlothian and Ellis County residents.
Construction will begin this year on the 8,800-square-foot addition to the emergency department and the completion of the fifth floor of the hospital, adding critical capacity to support a growing patient population.
Methodist Midlothian Medical Center President
“This expansion reflects Methodist Health System’s long-term commitment to building care around the people who live here—not asking them to leave the county for the services they need,” said Jary Ganske, President of Methodist Midlothian Medical Center. “We’re not just growing our footprint—we’re growing our service lines to meet the full spectrum of Ellis County’s healthcare needs. This investment allows us to deliver advanced care, with excellence and compassion, right here in Midlothian.”
The emergency department will add 16 new exam rooms and one new trauma room. The expansion also includes an additional dedicated CT imaging suite, a refreshed EMS lounge, a new breakroom for emergency staff, and a 32-space parking area to improve access for patients and first-responders.
Inpatiant Expansion Adds 15 Beds
On the inpatient side, the project will complete the hospital’s fifth floor, adding 15 inpatient beds and enhancing the hospital’s ability to admit and care for patients locally—reducing the need for transfers and improving continuity of care.
“This project is a direct response to the increasing demand for emergency and inpatient services in our region,” Ganske said. “We’re planning not just for today, but for the future growth of our community.”
