CHRISTUS Health revealed a major expansion project that will bring a new medical facility to West Tyler, Texas. The campus will be built on the former Optimum Cable building site at 1820 SSW Loop 323.
Expanded Care for the Community
The new center is slated to offer a broader range of primary care, specialty services, surgical procedures and emergency care, addressing a growing need for health resources in the western part of the city. CHRISTUS officials emphasized that the addition will improve access to quality medical care for families and individuals throughout the area.
Job Growth and Economic Impact
According to Chief Nursing Officer Shelly Birmingham, the project will create roughly 100 new staff positions, providing employment opportunities for local residents and supporting the regional economy. The hiring push aligns with CHRISTUS Health’s commitment to strengthening communities through both health services and job creation.
Construction Timeline
Groundbreaking is expected to begin later this year, with the facility projected to open several years after construction starts. The development reflects ongoing investment in Tyler’s healthcare infrastructure and underscores the city’s role as a hub for medical services in East Texas.
Community leaders and local officials have expressed support for the project, noting its potential to enhance health outcomes and contribute to the city’s growth.
