The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has awarded a $500,000 grant to Texas Health Resources Foundation to help renovate the Breast Center and Women\u2019s Center at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n

The funding will support the hospital\u2019s $9.7 million project to modernize outdated spaces, improve patient comfort, and expand access to advanced medical technology for women and families across Arlington and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

Arlington Tomorrow Foundation board president, Mayor Jim Ross, presented a check to Texas Health Arlington staff on Aug. 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us at the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation are delighted to have been able to donate the lead gift to this important campaign and jump-start the effort,\u201d Ross said.\u00a0 \u201cAs the community\u2019s first hospital, Arlington Memorial holds a special place in the history of our community.\u00a0 These improvements to the hospital\u2019s Women\u2019s Center ensures the hospital continues to offer state-of-art health services for women and families throughout the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first envisioned this campaign, we knew it would take bold leadership to bring it to life,\u201d said Blake Kretz, president of Texas Health Arlington Memorial. \u201cThe Arlington Tomorrow Foundation not only saw the vision, but they chose to lead it. Their belief in this project, and in the critical importance of investing in women\u2019s health, means the world to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Breast Center, originally built in 1985, serves more than 9,000 women each year. Renovations will include a reconfigured reception area, a dedicated biopsy suite, upgraded equipment such as a new 3D mammography unit and bone density scanner, and aesthetic updates to create a calming, spa-like atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Upgrades to the Women\u2019s Center will modernize the OB emergency department, labor and delivery operating rooms, waiting areas, and support spaces. These improvements aim to enhance the patient experience for expectant mothers and their families while supporting the hospital\u2019s commitment to providing high-quality care.<\/p>\n

Texas Health Resources is investing more than $8 million toward the project, with additional community fundraising underway. The Breast Center renovation is expected to be complete in early 2025, with Women\u2019s Center improvements beginning in spring 2025 and finishing in early 2026.<\/p>\n

The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation\u2019s grant also secures naming rights for the Breast Center, reflecting the Foundation\u2019s commitment to supporting high-quality health care in Arlington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on August 15, 2025 The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has awarded a $500,000…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":["post-222889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
