MDMC is located near downtown Dallas between a stable residential area on one side, and an economically-challenged area on the other. MDMC serves as a teaching and referral center for MHS, and trains nearly 100 residents annually in internal medicine, family practice, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology. A Physician Office Building (POB) was built to increase capacity of high-grade office space. The POB and MDMC Golden Cross Academic and indigent care Clinic help attract physicians and patients and have acted as a catalyst for further development and renovation of the area adjacent to the campus. MDMC created the Methodist Digestive Institute, which handles illnesses such as pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, indigestion and acid reflux. MDMC operates a high-risk pregnancy program and NICU. In addition to the many perinatal and neonatal services, MDMC also staffs a neonatal transport team that transports ill neonates from outlying hospitals in Northeast and Central Texas to MDMC. At the same time, MDMC began providing a Medication Therapy Management Clinic in its Liver Institute. Through this clinic, Hepatitis C patients are monitored by expert pharmacists who manage their medications, write insurance documents, and follow their progress on new drugs to treat and cure Hepatitis C. In FY2021, MDMC had 15,007 discharges; 92,422 inpatient days; 3,862 inpatient newborn days; 66,236 emergency room visits; 4,588 inpatient surgeries; and 4,773 outpatient surgeries. MCMC is a general acute care and teaching hospital that serves the communities of southern Dallas County. It houses a Family Practice residency program with dual accreditation to train both allopathic and osteopathic physicians. The campus has a 72-bed tower that created more modern patient rooms, more efficient workspaces for nursing staff, a telemetry floor for heart monitoring, a seven-room surgical suite with one operating room specially designed for heart surgery, and an orthopedic unit with a rehabilitation room. MCMC's OB hospitalist program has in-house specialists providing care to patients each day, including some whose private doctors are temporarily unavailable. The OB hospitalist program ensures that a board-certified OB-GYN physician is available at the hospital at all hours, exclusively dedicated to caring for hospitalized patients. For women in labor or with other obstetrics or gynecologic concerns, it's an additional layer of care that patients coming to Methodist Charlton can rely on. In FY2021 MCMC had 13,795 discharges; 82,502 inpatient days; 2,563 newborn inpatient days; 73,322 emergency room visits; 1,641 inpatient surgeries; and 1,782 outpatient surgeries. The 262 bed MMMC offers high-quality care to the growing areas of Mansfield and the surrounding communities. The hospital has undergone multiple expansions, one that doubled the size of the ER with 35 treatment rooms, added 8 ICU treatment rooms and 36 telemetry patient rooms. Another expansion was to the Women's Pavilion with a 9,413 square-foot addition to enhance Labor and Delivery services at MMMC to include a total of 13 LDR suites that accommodate up to 3,800 deliveries each year. Also added were an expanded antepartum area, expanded nurse/physician work areas, and expanded C-section recovery and support areas. Based on growth in surgical procedures, two operating rooms were also added. Due to continued growth in the demand for inpatient beds, MMMC completed a $118 million expansion adding 118 Medical-Surgical Beds, 12 ICU rooms, and eight Intermediate Care rooms. In FY2021 MMMC had 11,748 discharges; 65,955 inpatient days; 3,011 newborn inpatient days; 53,264 emergency room visits; 1,824 inpatient surgeries; and 2,640 outpatient surgeries. MRMC serves the residents of Richardson, Plano, North Dallas, Collin County and surrounding communities. MRMC operates two campuses: Campbell Road and Bush/Renner. The Campbell Road Campus was renamed the Methodist Richardson Medical Center Campus for Continuing Care. In addition to a full-service emergency department and other outpatient services, such as physical medicine and a sleep lab, this campus continues to be the site of MRMC's behavioral health program. This program includes a 64-bed inpatient unit and intensive outpatient programs. MRMC expanded the unit to offer an additional 22 inpatient beds for geriatric behavioral health patients. The Bush/Renner campus, in East Richardson, includes 269 bed patient tower, an outpatient hospital and full-service emergency room. Since opening, due to increased volume for specialized and acute care services, MRMC has doubled the size of the intensive care unit and the neonatal intensive care unit, added two additional patient floors with all-private patient rooms as well as a surgical operating room and a 500-space parking garage. Recently, a $45 million ED, Lab and Pharmacy expansion was approved for future development. The vertical expansion brings the total number of beds to 443 for both campuses. The Bush/Renner campus is also home to Methodist Richardson Cancer Center, where some of the latest advancements in medical, surgical and radiation oncology are provided in one convenient location. The Bush/Renner campus also includes a five-story, 100,000 square foot physician pavilion with more than 30 physicians in a full range of specialties. In FY2021, MRMC had 13,612 discharges; 78,423 inpatient days; 2,957 newborn inpatient days; 49,118 emergency room visits; 2,543 inpatient surgeries; and 3,472 outpatient surgeries. MLMC is a general acute care hospital located on U.S. Highway 287 in Midlothian, Texas. It currently has 46 licensed beds. The facility is a full service, general acute care hospital, including OB and ED services. The facility opened in November 2020. In FY2021 MLMC had 1,117 discharges; 4,772 inpatient days; 136 newborn inpatient days; 13,700 emergency room visits; 121 inpatient surgeries; and 182 outpatient surgeries. MSMC is a general acute care hospital located on State Highway 114 in Southlake, Texas. The hospital was initially operated under the name Methodist Southlake Hospital and operated by MetSL LLC, a limited liability company jointly owned by Methodist Health System and a group of independent physicians. The final step in a multi-year plan was taken in June of 2021 when this hospital transitioned to MSMC and began being operated as a division of Methodist Health System. It currently has 54 licensed beds. The facility is currently adding service lines to become a full service, general acute care hospital. MHS is a teaching healthcare system with physician residency programs in several specialties and training across a broad array of allied health professions. MDMC and MCMC operate active outpatient teaching clinics staffed by its residents and supervised by attending physicians. The teaching clinics are valuable assets in meeting the primary care needs of the community, as well as training new physicians. MHS conducts screenings for cancer of the breast, cervix and skin through the Mobile mammography Unit which offers convenient screenings and Mammograms. The 50-bed Methodist Rehabilitation Hospital is next door to the MCMC campus and is jointly owned with Centerre Health. It allows MHS to be able to provide a larger array of rehabilitative care services. A partnership between MHS and area physicians opened the Methodist McKinney Hospital which now has 23 beds and serves Collin County and the surrounding communities. Methodist Hospital for Surgery in Addison is a joint venture partnership with a group of physicians. The 32-bed facility is a center of excellence for spine and orthopedic surgery. MHS is committed to enhancing the availability of physicians servicing the community. Methodist Family Health Centers extend family health care and general medical services in 23 locations in the MHS service area. |

Significant sections of MHS' service areas have high percentages of households in poverty, low median household income, high percentages of adults with less than a high school education, high percentages of blue-collar workers, low percentages of managerial and professional workers, a high rate of births to teenagers, high premature births and infant mortality, and high percentages of children. Consequently, in FY2021, MHS provided a substantial amount of charity care and government-sponsored indigent healthcare, as well as a number of other community benefits in accomplishing its exempt purpose. Whether financially or medically indigent, there is no question that the demand for healthcare for the indigent population is great and the county-supported Parkland Hospital is not caring for, and likely cannot care for, all of those who qualify. As a result, Methodist, along with other private hospitals in the area, participates in the Texas Healthcare Transformation and Quality Improvement Program: Medicaid 1115 Waiver ("Waiver Program"). The Waiver Program provides pools of funding to reimburse participating facilities for a portion of the cost of care for uninsured and underinsured patients and for providing programs that improve the quality and lower the cost of care. The DSRIP (Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment) pool provides payments to hospitals and other providers upon their achieving certain goals that are intended to improve the quality and lower the cost of care. DSRIP is part of the federally approved 1115 waiver that preserves UPL funding under a new methodology, but allows for managed care expansion to additional areas of the state. The program, which MHS facilities have participated in since it began, helps fund efforts targeted toward promoting appropriate emergency room utilization, evidence based clinical and quality improvement in chronic disease management. Throughout FY2021, Methodist Health System's DSRIP projects continued to impact our low income and uninsured patient populations by leveraging relationships with internal and external partners (Meals on Wheels/VNA, Metrocare Behavioral Health, etc.) to address patients' social services and healthcare access needs. Dallas County's trauma rates typically are higher than state and national trauma rates. Historically, the County has relied almost exclusively on Parkland Memorial Hospital (Parkland), MDMC and Baylor University Medical Center (Baylor) to handle major trauma. Parkland currently operates as the County's primary trauma facility, supported by MDMC and Baylor. MDMC's commitment to provide outstanding trauma services to Dallas and surrounding counties is demonstrated by the improvements that MDMC has made within its own trauma program. MDMC is designated by the Texas Department of Health as a Level I Major Trauma Center. MDMC does a great deal to fulfill the community need for emergency services including a more than $108 million expansion to the MDMC emergency room, critical care, and surgery departments with a six-story trauma and critical care center. The 248,000 square foot trauma and critical care center includes 58 emergency room beds, six trauma suites, eight surgical suites, a 36-bed critical care unit and the ability to expand to 11 stories for future growth. MHS, along with two other non-profit hospitals in Dallas, jointly sponsors a regional helicopter, fixed wing, and ground ambulance service called CareFlite. MDMC maintains helipads for the helicopter service. |
