Amarillo’s Healthcare Expands with a New ER Opening Soon

At one point in time, Amarillo's only spot for emergent care was at either hospital.  There was an ER at BSA Hospital and one at Northwest Texas Hospital.  Over the years, stand-alone ERs started popping up all over the city.

Not long after the stand-alone ERs started moving in, the hospitals began to open other ERs in the area. The first stand-alone ER opened by Northwest Texas Hospital is 8960 Hillside Road, Northwest Emergency Town Square.  It gave patients an additional choice of locations for emergency care.

On November 16, 2023, the Northwest Texas Healthcare System held a groundbreaking for the new Northwest Emergency Tascosa, and almost two years later, the new ER will be opening.  The new Northwest Emergency will be located at 4207 W. Amarillo Blvd.
