Healthcare with a heart—Methodist Celina Medical Center is redefining what it means to provide exceptional care. Expected to begin treating patients in early 2025, this advanced facility is not just meeting but exceeding the needs of the Celina community, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and compassionate service. Did we mention it is only 11 minutes away from our master-planned community?!

Addressing the ‘Emergency Care Desert’

For years, Celina has been classified as an ‘emergency care desert,’ with residents often traveling to Denton, McKinney, or Frisco for emergency medical attention. The opening of Methodist Celina Medical Center will dramatically reduce travel time for emergency care, significantly improving health outcomes for the community. Celina Fire Division Chief Justin Beamis highlighted the importance of this development, recalling instances where emergency medical services had to perform CPR for extended periods due to the lack of nearby facilities.

Benefits for Celina and Prosper Residents

The new hospital will provide residents of Celina and Prosper with timely access to essential healthcare services. This proximity to emergency care will significantly benefit both communities, ensuring better health outcomes and peace of mind. As the city continues to grow, having a local hospital will support residents and visitors, contributing to the overall quality of life in the area.

Services Offered at Methodist Celina Medical Center

Methodist Celina Medical Center will offer a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse healthcare needs of the community, including:

  • Cardiovascular care
  • Emergency and trauma care
  • Women’s and children’s services
  • Cancer care
  • Orthopedics and spine care
  • Family medicine
  • Surgical services, including robotics
  • Imaging and radiology

The hospital will also feature:

  • 30 medical-surgical beds
  • Ten postpartum beds
  • Eight ICU beds
  • 12 emergency department beds
  • Three operating rooms, including a da Vinci surgical robot
  • A cardiac catheterization lab and two procedure rooms

Cody Hunter has been appointed as the first president of Methodist Celina Medical Center. Under his leadership, the hospital aims to integrate seamlessly into the community, offering top-tier medical services and fostering a supportive environment for patients and staff. Methodist Health System executives have expressed their excitement and commitment to contributing to Celina’s healthcare landscape.

Economic and Community Impact

The hospital’s opening will also benefit Celina and Prosper significantly economically. It is projected to create 200 jobs initially, with more positions to be added as services expand.
