The Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano Expansion Project is a major $343 million healthcare infrastructure development designed to meet the rapidly growing medical needs of Collin County and the broader North Texas region. Anchoring the expansion is a new eight-story patient tower to be constructed on the east end of the hospital campus, which will increase the facility’s licensed acute and critical care capacity from 230 to approximately 400 beds. In addition to advanced healing spaces, a relocated rooftop helipad, and an expanded basement-level pharmacy, the development includes a recently completed six-story, 696-space parking garage connected to existing medical offices via a sky bridge. With construction of the main patient tower scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025 and targeting a fall 2028 opening, the project will significantly enhance the hospital’s capabilities in treating high-acuity conditions, including advanced neurosurgery, cardiovascular care, and emergency services.

This regional commitment to high-capacity healthcare is further evidenced by the topping out of the $320 million Forney Hospital by Texas Health in April 2026. As the first-ever full-service acute care facility in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, the 245,000-square-foot hospital reached its highest structural point just one year after its groundbreaking. Designed and built by The Beck Group, the campus will feature 64 beds, a 17-room emergency department, and an 80,000-square-foot medical office building. Scheduled to open in fall 2027, the Forney facility, much like the Plano expansion, is a critical component of Texas Health Resources’ strategy to bridge the gap between explosive population growth and local healthcare availability across the North Texas corridor.

Reported 8th November 2024: Fraser Hay expressed that these expansions allow Texas Health Plano to expand alongside our community and cater to its changing requirements. He mentioned that they have been providing services to the community for 33 years and feel privileged to be extending their services to better address the needs of their customers throughout their lifetimes in the years.

Plano and Collin County have been at the forefront of North Texas’s population growth for a while now! In 2010 Collin County had around 780K residents. Has seen a significant increase to over a million in 2020 and an estimated 1.15 million, in 2022!

Texas Health Plano is enhancing the quality of care in neurosciences and heart health as addressing the emergency requirements of the local community effectively. The medical facility is planning to create healing spaces that provide patients with a soothing environment and integrate state of the art equipment and technologies effectively.

Kirk King stated that Texas Health takes care of a number of patients, in North Texas than any healthcare system in the region and expressed pride, in serving a vibrant and expanding community at Texas Health Plano with an aim to provide top notch healthcare services to patients and their families.

West Campus parking garage

The latest West Campus parking garage is now the six-story parking facility, on the hospital grounds. As an extension of the open lot area this new addition provides a 538 parking spots. The garage includes a sky bridge connecting it to the Medical Office 2 building. Is equipped with electric vehicle charging stations. This new tower will enhance the hospital’s ability to accommodate patients requiring care for severe illnesses and injuries. It will also create room for care patients undergoing treatment, for life threatening conditions. The hospital plans to construct a building adjacent to a tower already present, on the eastern side of the hospital grounds where there are currently parking spaces and a helipad located on the premises. The hospital intends to move the helipad to the rooftop of the tower.

Upon finishing the project work, on the tower will boost the number of licensed acute/critical care beds up to 400. A significant increase, from the current 230 beds count. The basement will be connected to existing service corridors. Will accommodate an expanded pharmacy department.

Recent Expansions

Recently, the Texas Health Plano Hospital there has been an expansion of the intensive care unit (NICU). The NICU now have 42 beds for infants in need of care with a special provision for twins and triplets in two designated rooms, within the unit itself! Moreover, during this expansion phase they also included seven rooms designed like hotel suites to cater to families who have infants staying with them for an extended period while receiving specialized medical attention and care.

Construction has begun on a new operating room at Texas Health Plano dedicated to advanced neuroscience, heart, and vascular procedures. This second specialized operating room will feature cutting-edge neurosurgery technology that enables multiple medical specialties – including interventional neurology, cardiology, and various surgeries – to use the space. The room will support procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), endovascular aneurysm repair, and arterial blood clot removal.

“We are partnering with our Collin County neighbors to provide a lifetime of health and well-being,” Hay said. “Texas Health Plano is enhancing the spectrum of care we offer patients everyday – from high-acuity neurosurgery, stroke, heart and vascular to the safe and memorable delivery of their littlest family members.”
