HCA North Texas rebrands to Medical City Healthcare

One of the region’s largest and most comprehensive healthcare providers — HCA North Texas — is announcing a unifying name change to Medical City Healthcare. The market wide brand reflects the company and its 13 DFW hospitals’ shared commitment and investment in the North Texas community.

“Medical City is a trusted name with an immediately recognizable reputation for quality healthcare,” says Erol Akdamar, FACHE, president of Medical City Healthcare. “We’ve always been a family, and now the public and our patients will be able to immediately identify our expansive system of care in their own communities.”

The new name is effective immediately and affects 13 DFW hospitals and seven off-campus hospital ERs. The Medical City Healthcare system also includes 11 ambulatory surgery locations, six children’s urgent care centers and the CareNow urgent care network.

A unifying name change coincides with a major capital investment initiative of more than $1.5 billion spent or committed over three years. Investments include expansion and improvements to existing hospitals, new services such as burn and trauma care, upgraded technology, and purchasing two new facilities.
“We are committed to the care and improvement of human life,” says Akdamar. “As demand for healthcare has increased in recent years, these investments reinforce and reflect the strength of our combined resources to offer North Texans a full continuum of high-quality, compassionate care.”

As one of the largest healthcare providers in North Texas, Medical City Healthcare hospitals have improved the lives of thousands of North Texans.
