Wayne and Eileen Hurd Regional Medical Center - Scott & White
In April , Scott & White Healthcare announced that the hospital bed tower on the Wayne and Eileen Hurd Regional Medical Center would open by the end of 2014 , almost two years earlier than projected , due to a significant redesign of project scope and other positive indicators .

The first phase of the hospital will consist of 44 beds , with plans to provide infrastructure to accommodate expansion to more than 80 beds . The facility will offer multispecialty services including primary care , cardiology , general surgery , orthopedics , podiatry , ophthalmology , gastroenterology , and pain management .

Ground was broken for the Scott & White Healthcare Bone and Joint Institute on the main Temple campus on May 10 . Construction will begin with the rerouting of the traffic flow to accommodate the new facility , which is being built adjacent to the Scott & White surgical Pavilion . The groundbreaking served as a backdrop for the formal announcement of the $ 6 million capital campaign to help ensure the most advanced diagnostic equipment , medical education and leading-edge research is available to patients and staff . To date , the campaign has raised more than $ 840,000 .
