Methodist Hospitals Of Dallas

Programs: The primary mission of the methodist hospitals of dallas d/b/a methodist health system (mhs) is to serve people in defined service areas by meeting their health needs effectively and in a manner that reflects a commitment to christian concepts of life and learning. This mission is pursued by operating four general acute-care hospitals and other healthcare services, education and support programs needed by the communities in north central texas. Hospitals are: methodist dallas medical center (mdmc), a 585 licensed bed teaching referral hospital; methodist charlton medical center (mcmc), a 317 licensed bed hospital; methodist mansfield medical center (mmmc), a 254 licensed bed hospital; and methodist richardson medical center (mrmc) which now operates a 386 licensed bed hospital across two campuses. Mdmc is located near downtown dallas between a stable residential area on one side, and an economically-challenged area on the other. Mdmc serves as a teaching and referral center for mhs, and trains nearly 85 residents annually in internal medicine, family practice, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology. In late 2007, a physician office building (pob) was built to increase capacity of high grade office space. The mdmc golden cross academic and indigent care clinic had a $7 million renovation in 2004. The pob and clinic help attract physicians and patients, and have acted as a catalyst for further development and renovation of the area adjacent to the campus. In 2015, methodist dallas created the methodist digestive institute, which handles illnesses such as pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, indigestion and acid reflux. Mdmc operates a high risk pregnancy program and nicu. In addition to the many perinatal and neonatal services, mdmc also staffs a neonatal transport team that transports ill neonates from outlying hospitals in northeast and central texas to mdmc. Also, in fy2015 mdmc began providing a medication therapy management clinic in its liver institute. Through this clinic, hepatitis c patients are monitored by expert pharmacists who manage their medications, write insurance documents, and follow their progress on new drugs to treat and cure hepatitis c. The clinic opened in june and by the end of the year, nearly 90 patients were cured of the illness. In fy2017, mdmc had 15,451 discharges; 84,524 inpatient days; 5,864 inpatient newborn days; 69,916 emergency room visits; 4,578 inpatient surgeries; and 4,364 outpatient surgeries. Mcmc is a general acute care and teaching hospital that serves the communities of southern dallas county. It houses a family practice residency program with dual accreditation to train both allopathic and osteopathic physicians. The campus added a 72 bed patient tower in 2012. The bed tower created more modern patient rooms, more efficient workspaces for nursing staff, a telemetry floor for heart monitoring, a seven-room surgical suite with one operating room specially designed for heart surgery, and an orthopedic unit with a rehabilitation room. Mcmc's ob hospitalist program launched in december 2015 with in-house specialists providing care to about a dozen patients each day, including some whose private doctors are temporarily unavailable. The ob hospitalist program ensures that a board-certified ob-gyn physician is available at the hospital at all hours, exclusively dedicated to caring for hospitalized patients. For women in labor or with other obstetrics or gynecologic concerns, it's an additional layer of care that patients coming to methodist charlton can rely on. In fy2017 mcmc had 12,620 discharges; 60,856 inpatient days; 5,042 newborn inpatient days; 86,274 emergency room visits; 1,885 inpatient surgeries; and 2,201 outpatient surgeries. The 254 bed mmmc opened in 2006 and offers high-quality care to the growing areas of mansfield and the surrounding communities. In 2010 mmmc celebrated its expanded er, icu, and telemetry floor. The $37 million expansion doubled the size of the er with 35 treatment rooms, added eight icu treatment rooms and 36 telemetry patient rooms. A $9 million expansion of the women's pavilion was completed in 2012. This 9,413 square-foot addition enhanced labor and delivery services at mmmc to a total of 13 ldr suites that accommodates up to 3,800 deliveries each year. Also added was an expanded antepartum area, expanded nurse/physician work areas, and expanded c-section recovery and support. Based on growth in surgical procedures, construction was initiated in september 2013 on two operating rooms that came on-line in march 2014. Due to continued growth in the demand for inpatient beds, mmmc completed a new $118 million expansion in 2015 adding 118 medical-surgical beds, 12 icu rooms, and eight intermediate care rooms. In fy2017 mmmc had 9,666 discharges; 45,114 inpatient days; 3,864 newborn inpatient days; 51,622 emergency room visits; 1,781 inpatient surgeries; and 2,661 outpatient surgeries. Mrmc serves the residents of richardson, plano, north dallas, collin county and surrounding communities. In october 2011, mhs acquired the assets of the richardson hospital authority (rha) and continued to operate the hospital facility as part of the methodist health system. The hospital operations of the hospital are now within the methodist health system and included as part of this return. Mrmc has two campuses: campbell road and bush/renner. Up until april 2014, the campbell road campus operated as a 200-bed acute care facility with independently practicing physicians offering more than 35 different specialties along with a full service emergency room. The bush/renner campus, in east richardson, included an outpatient hospital and full service emergency room with 4 observation beds. In april 2014, methodist opened an acute-care 134 licensed bed inpatient facility at the bush/renner campus bringing the total number of licensed beds for mrmc to 334. Since opening, the bush/renner facility has expanded with an additional 52 beds bringing the total of licensed beds for bush/renner to 186 and for both campuses to a total of 386. Among the enhancements of the new facility are the doubled size of the intensive care unit and the neonatal intensive care unit, and the ability to open a second cardiac catheterization lab. The bush/renner campus is also home to methodist richardson cancer center, where some of the latest advancements in medical, surgical and radiation oncology are provided in one convenient location. The bush/renner campus also includes a five-story, 100,000 square foot physician pavilion with more than 30 physicians in a full range of specialties. The campbell road campus has been renamed the methodist richardson medical center campus for continuing care. In addition to a full service emergency department and other outpatient services, such as physical medicine and a sleep lab, this campus continues to be the site of mrmc's behavioral health program. This program includes a 64-bed inpatient unit and intensive outpatient programs. Mrmc expanded the unit in 2015 to offer an additional 22 inpatient beds for geriatric behavioral health patients.

The teaching clinics are a valuable asset in meeting the primary care needs of the community, as well as training new physicians. Mhs conducts screenings for cancer of the breast, cervix and skin through the mobile mammography unit which offers convenient screenings and mammograms. Methodist rehabilitation hospital opened with 40 beds in 2008. It is next door to the mcmc campus and is jointly owned with centerre health. It allows mhs to be able to provide a larger array of rehabilitative care.
