Grant and Impact
The City of Marble Falls’ strong commitment to the creation of a medical
center campus is without peer. It is underscored by the millions of
dollars the city invested to bring in a new water tower and sewer lines,
and a $2.5 million economic development grant awarded to the project
for job creation over a five-year period beginning in 2013. Hundreds of
jobs will be created, including those to support physician practices and
the hospital.
Hurd Regional Medical Center capital campaign steering committee
member John Racz, of Horseshoe Bay, affirms and applauds the passion
and support of the City of Marble Falls. “The city of Marble Falls
has been marvelous,” he says. “It was heavily involved in the
effort to get us here, as well as key people in Horseshoe
Bay. The city really stuck its neck out, because it sees the

our property here 20 years ago, Dottie
said we needed a good hospital close
by. Now we’ll have one. We’ve seen
too many times situations when a
spouse has a problem, and the family’s
ability to access high-quality specialty
services has been difficult. It’s a big
time investment to get to an urban
area for care, and with some medical
conditions, time can be of the essence.”

When the hospital bed tower opens in
2014, the 200,000-square-foot facility
will house 46 medical/surgical and
intensive care unit beds, with future
plans to accommodate 80 beds, to
keep pace with demand for inpatient
care. Diagnostic services, laboratories,
obstetrics, surgery services, a pharmacy,
an emergency department and much
more will be on-site.

expanding access to an even higher level
of specialty healthcare for people in the
