Medical City Arlington broke ground Dec. 11 for Medical City ER Red Oak, which will be located at 403 E. Ovilla Road in Red Oak. The facility is scheduled to open in the summer of 2019.

Medical City ER Red Oak will be a full-service emergency room staffed with board certified emergency physicians and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Medical City Arlington said in a news release.

The 10,840-square-foot off-campus emergency department will include 12 private patient treatment rooms, a trauma room, a full laboratory, as well as a radiology suite with X-ray and CT imaging. Medical City ER Red Oak will treat patients of all ages, including pediatric patients.

“As an extension of Medical City Arlington, Medical City ER Red Oak will be staffed by highly trained physicians and experienced ER nurses with advanced certification in pediatric and adult care,” Keith Zimmerman, CEO of Medical City Arlington, said in the release.

“We are very proud to become part of the Red Oak community. When the facility opens, Ellis County residents will have access to convenient, safe, and quality emergency care services in an area where none currently exist,” Zimmerman said.

The building also will have an additional 10,000 square feet of medical office space for Solis Mammography, primary care physicians and other specialists.
