DFW Hospital Building New ICU Unit

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Irving is planning to build a new intensive care unit at one of its North Texas properties.

The project is a build-out of 20,000 square feet of existing shell space for 16 patient rooms and nurse support services at the Irving hospital, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing. Perkins & Will of Dallas is listed as the design firm on the filing, and the anticipated delivery date for the estimated $10 million project is January 31, 2025.

Baylor Scott and White Medical Center-Irving is a 293-bed facility that provides services in heart and vascular care, diagnostic imaging, digestive disorders, physical medicine and rehabilitation, cancer care prevention, diagnosis and treatment, orthopedic surgery, and emergency medicine.

A non-profit healthcare system, Baylor Scott & White Health includes more than 50 hospitals, 800 clinics, and 49,000 employees. In July, the company announced that 26 of its hospitals were recognized by U.S. News & World Report — more than any other nonprofit health system in Texas.

“This recognition affirms our commitment to excellence in delivering safe, high-quality, customer-centric care,” CEO Pete McCanna said in the announcement. “Across our health system, our teams are dedicated to making an impact and helping those we serve live well.”

For 2023-24, all of the health system’s academic medical centers were ranked among the top ten “Best Hospitals in Texas.” They are Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple, and Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Irving was listed among the Dallas-Fort Worth region’s top hospitals.
