In 2006, Metroplex Adventist Hospital opened a new patient tower expansion that added three floors to the existing two-story north wing. The 62,248-square-foot expansion added 22 private rooms to the fifth floor—14 designated as surgical/medical patient rooms and eight as orthopedic rooms. The floor also includes a hydrotherapy whirlpool and rehabilitation gym. The fourth floor includes 24 ICU and intermediate care rooms. The third floor has been shelled in and reserved for future growth.

Construction is in process for the new Sue Mayborn Women's Center. Completion of the $8.2 million dollar facility, scheduled for Spring of 2009, will be created by refurbishing, updating and redesigning existing space within Metroplex Adventist Hospital, and adding 7,200 square feet to improve patient comfort, facility aesthetics and hospital staff work flow.

WELLNESS AND SPIRITUAL CARE

As Metroplex grows in size and technology, the health system's well-earned reputation of outstanding personalized healthcare remains steadfast. Like other Adventist-operated hospitals, Metroplex is committed to meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the people it serves. Expanded services include such programs and resources as chaplaincy services, grief recovery counseling, and daily and weekly devotional programs for employees and hospital visitors and patients. Metroplex offers a community wellness program that has 10-15 classes and screenings each month, such as monthly health screenings, blood drives and CPR classes. Two special services include Prime of Life for individuals 55 years and older and monthly childbirth classes for the more than 1,400 babies born at Metroplex each year. Physicians and employees also participate in community outreach programs, including an annual Silver Classic 5K Run and Walk each spring, the Lampasas Health Fest each June, spring and fall golf tournaments, KidFest Health & Safety Fair every fall, and the Gold Star Gala Foundation fundraiser each November.
