Fort Worth (Tarrant County) — The Jane and John Justin Tower will grow taller as Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth undergoes a major expansion focused a focus on Women’s Services and other campus improvements.

Building on the transformative gift in 2019 that made Justin Tower a reality, the Jane & John Justin Foundation is once again playing a pivotal role in the hospital’s next chapter with a naming gift for this major expansion.

Construction will begin soon to build four floors atop the current tower. The additional floors, 11 and 12, will house the relocated Women’s Services center, including labor and delivery, nursery, dedicated operating rooms, as well as antepartum, postpartum and gynecology rooms. Floors nine and 10 will be shell space for future needs.

The center will be known as the Jane and John Justin Center for Women & Infants and elevate the patient experience by providing a modern healing environment that further strengthens the caliber of maternal care offered for generations.

Campus improvements will also include the relrelocating the Obstetric Emergency Department into Justin Tower with its own dedicated entrance, expanding the hospital’s current neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and building out ocation of the Obstetric Emergency Department into Justin Tower with its own dedicated entrance, expansion of the hospital’s current neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and the building out of two existing but unfinished Justin Tower floors, which will add 71 patient rooms.

“This is more than a hospital expansion; it’s an investment in the health and future of our community,” said Josh Floren, chief operating officer of Texas Health’s Hospital Channel. “Expanding Women’s Services helps support the journey of expectant mothers, gives newborns the safest possible start, and strengthens the health of families for generations to come. Adding patient rooms means families won’t have to travel far for critical care but can receive the specialized treatment they deserve, right here in our community.”

Justin Tower will remain operational during the vertical expansion, which is expected to be completed in 2029.

Construction is already underway to finish out the shell space on the fourth and fifth floors of Justin Tower, which will add 71 patient rooms and include a new Surgical Trauma Progressive Care Unit. This new unit will provide specialized care for patients recovering from traumatic injuries or surgeries who do not require intensive care but are not stable enough for a general medical-surgical unit.

Those floors are expected to open in 2026.
