Located in the heart of southwest Tarrant County, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, a founding member of Texas Health Resources, has provided advanced health care services close to home for area residents for more than 20 years. The full-service hospital features skilled physicians on the medical staff performing some of today’s most complex procedures, caring staff members and technology on the leading edge of medicine -- all in an environment designed with your comfort and convenience in mind.

In response to explosive growth in southwest Tarrant County, the hospital opened the Mary V. and Herbert L. Pease Tower in 2006 to provide easy access to specialty care. The five-story bed tower doubled the size of the hospital and features a new women’s services unit, two medical/surgical floors and physician office space. The construction included expansion of the hospital’s intensive care unit, pharmacy and nutritional services.

Specialty services offered at Texas Health Southwest include cardiovascular, surgical, orthopedic, rehabilitation, women’s and urology. Texas Health Southwest has been nationally recognized for excellence in caring for patients with heart failure, and the hospital continually ranks among the area’s preferred facilities to deliver babies, according to Fort Worth Child magazine (December 2006 issue).

Texas Health Resources is an equal opportunity employer that celebrates diversity at all levels of our organization. EOE/AA/M/F/D/V
