Hospital planned for Lake Worth, TX, area

Texas Health Resources intends to build a $100 million hospital in the Lake Worth area, with plans for roughly 100 inpatient beds. The new hospital is expected to open in three to five years, at which point a hospital eight miles away in Azle would be converted to a largely outpatient facility. Executives hope that the new hospital will draw patients from all over fast-growing northwest Tarrant County because of the facility's accessibility.
