Tarrant County is building itself a new public hospital. JPS Health Network broke ground in April on a $1.5 billion, 1.1-million-square-foot medical center in Fort Worth, the last and largest piece of a $2.5 billion overhaul of the county’s safety-net system.
Project Scope
The new inpatient hospital rises at South Main and East Morphy streets and lifts JPS capacity from 582 beds to more than 740, with room to grow toward 800. It caps the JPS Master Facility Plan, the multi-year building program voters funded through a 2018 bond. Completion is targeted for 2030.
Why It Matters
JPS is the public safety-net hospital for one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and its main tower has aged past the point where renovation makes sense. The replacement adds beds a stretched system badly needs and modernizes care for patients who often have nowhere else to go. It also ranks among the larger public hospital builds underway in the state.
