The Eastside of Amarillo Will Finally Have a Place for Medical Emergencies

Amarillo is a very big city.  It's not as bid as the BIG cities, but we are quite large and when there is only a small area for medical care then for some, it's quite the drive to the ER.

Amarillo has several stand-alone emergency rooms in addition to the main two hospital's ERs, but if you go over to the east side of Amarillo, you won't find a place to get emergent medical care. That's all about to change.

Northwest Emergency at Eastern

Northwest Texas Healthcare System is building an 11,570 sq ft building on 5 acres.  The new ER will be located at 4409 E. Interstate Highway 40.

According to NWTX, the new location will have 9 treatment areas, imaging equipment, laboratory and will be available for outpatient testing.

The anticipated opening is Fall of 2025. The estimated cost of the new ER will be $8,000,000.

The closest urgent care is at I-40 and Grand, and the new Northwest Emergency at Eastern will be a functioning ER like their location at Hillside and Soncy.  This will bring important medical care to an area of Amarillo that needs it.

Northwest Texas Healthcare System had a groundbreaking on November 16, 2023, for their new emergency department Northwest Emergency at Tascosa.  It will follow the same plan as the one on the east side.

This will be a great addition to Amarillo.
