### New Forney Hospital Set to Break Ground, Costing $171 Million
Construction is set to begin next month on Forney’s first acute care hospital, a 245,000-square-foot facility that will be operated by Texas Health. The hospital is expected to start accepting patients by June 2027.
The 115-bed hospital will come at a cost of $171 million and will include a full suite of medical services. Among its features will be an emergency room, operating suites, a labor and delivery department, and various imaging services, ensuring comprehensive care for the rapidly growing community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Kaufman County is currently the fastest-growing county in the nation, with Forney ranking among the fastest-growing cities.
Strategically located along Highway 80, the hospital is being designed with the potential for future expansion. Beck Architectures LLC is leading the design of the project.
