CELINA (WBAP/KLIF) – Methodist Health System began construction this week on its newest hospital, a five-story, 200,000-square-foot hospital in northern Collin County to serve the growing town of Celina and its surrounding communities.
City leaders and other members of the community joined hospital executives Tuesday to celebrate the $200 million project. Methodist Celina Medical Center will open in 2025 on 46 acres beside the Dallas North Tollway and FM428, three miles from Main Street Celina and 40 miles north of Methodist’s flagship campus in Dallas.
“Though our deepest roots are in the city of Dallas’ southern sector, we are committed to growth — when it is for the right reasons,” said James C. Scoggin, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, Methodist Health System. “And as we look at the boomtown of Celina and the need for a major medical facility, these are just two of many reasons we are so excited.”
The hospital represents a multimillion-dollar investment in Celina, where the population has nearly tripled since 2010.
“I know that we’re surrounded by fields right now, but just wait,” said Pam Stoyanoff, President and Chief Operating Officer, Methodist Health System. “In two years’ time, that will change and a new, beautiful, technologically efficient hospital will open, with a stellar and dedicated team of physicians, nurses, and support staff.”
Celina was recently named the fastest-growing city in North Texas, and its population has been projected to surpass 150,000 within the next decade.
