Trusted care in the Midlothian community

Methodist Midlothian Medical Center is the first full-service acute care hospital in the community. Conveniently located on a 67-acre campus near U.S. 287, the five-story medical center features the latest technology and provides a variety of services for your family. The $175 million facility is the twelfth hospital to carry the Methodist Health System name.

Together with independently practicing physicians, the hospital provides a wide range of medical care. Major areas of focus include surgical care, emergency care, women’s services, orthopedics, cardiology, imaging, oncology and more.

Currently, Methodist Midlothian features 46 licensed beds for inpatient care. However, the hospital also plans to support the projected growth in the region by including shell space for 37 additional beds. This could bring the hospital to more than 80 licensed beds during its first few years of operation.

The emergency room includes 16 beds and gives residents timely care that’s supported by other hospital services when needed. Through its two operating suites, the hospital is designed to support many surgical procedures — from general surgery to advanced orthopedic care. For some conditions, residents will have minimally invasive surgical options. Often these less-invasive procedures help speed recovery and get residents back to daily living faster.

In addition to a 200,000-square-foot medical center, Methodist Midlothian’s campus includes a 45,000-square-foot medical office building. By bringing numerous outpatient and inpatient services together on a single campus, Ellis County residents now have one convenient location for quality healthcare services.

“When we increase healthcare access, more residents can get the care they need without having to leave their community, family, or support system,” says Jary Ganske, administrator and vice president of Methodist Midlothian. “We want to give residents the innovative care they deserve close to home.”

By the first full year, the medical center also plans to create 300 new healthcare professional and support staff jobs. This will place it among the top 10 largest employers in the city of Midlothian. As a community hospital, Methodist Midlothian will work with other local organizations to support health needs and enhance community well-being.

“Our new hospital is all about serving the health and well-being of our neighbors in this vibrant community,” Ganske says. “We’re honored by the trust this community has placed in us to care for their healthcare needs, and we look forward to building on our strong partnership with Midlothian to help it thrive for years to come.” For a list of hospital services or more information, visit MethodistMidlothian.org
