Texas Health Forney Hospital Project Set to Reshape City's Future
A major milestone in Forney’s growth and healthcare landscape is officially underway. The Texas Health Forney Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility backed by Texas Health Resources, bringing with it the promise of expanded health services, job creation, and long-term economic development.
The project, with an estimated cost of $171 million, is expected to be completed by summer 2027 and represents one of the largest infrastructure undertakings in Forney’s recent history.
Spanning approximately 245,000 square feet on a 26.8-acre site, the hospital will open with an initial capacity of 62 beds, eventually scaling up to 115 beds. Designed by the acclaimed Beck Architecture LLC, the facility will offer a wide range of services, including emergency care, women's health, imaging, and surgical procedures.
“This isn’t just about a building—it’s about what it brings to the people who live here,” said a city official. “Families in Forney will finally have access to critical care options without having to leave town.”
Impact Beyond Healthcare
While the medical benefits are clear, the hospital’s impact is expected to go far beyond patient care. Local leaders anticipate a ripple effect across Forney's economy—boosting property values, attracting new businesses, and creating jobs both during and after construction.
"This project is a game-changer," said a local economic development spokesperson. "It positions Forney as not just a bedroom community, but as a serious player in the regional economy and healthcare sector."
The hospital is also expected to help alleviate strain on facilities in neighboring cities and reduce emergency response times for Forney residents—an increasingly important factor as the city continues to experience rapid population growth.
A Vision for Forney’s Future
Forney has seen a surge in residential and commercial development over the past decade. The hospital is a logical next step in that trajectory—signaling to residents, investors, and healthcare providers that the city is committed to scaling its services alongside its population.
