McKinney, Texas — Medical City McKinney celebrated the opening of its new $17 million Medical City Women’s Hospital McKinney with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and facility tours on Thursday, Nov. 30.

To further support healthier tomorrows for mothers, babies and families, Medical City McKinney presented a $5,000 charitable donation to the March of Dimes. The organization’s mission is to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies, helping to end preventable maternal health risks, deaths and preventable preterm births.
The new women’s hospital is part of a three-story, $64 million patient tower that opened in December 2021. These expansion projects are part of Medical City Healthcare's major capital investment initiative of more than $1.5 billion spent over five years across the Medical City Healthcare system.
