Medical City Healthcare Hospitals highlight emergency preparedness

Dallas, Texas — As North Texas prepares to welcome thousands of visitors from around the world, Medical City Healthcare is demonstrating emergency preparedness across its system of care.

Medical City Arlington and Medical City Frisco have set up emergency medical tents as part of comprehensive emergency preparations for potential patient surges during the upcoming global soccer event. Other Medical City Healthcare hospitals have the same ability to quickly deploy tents, if needed. The temporary medical tents are intended to help care teams evaluate and treat non-life-threatening emergencies.

As an integrated partner in the regional emergency response plan, Medical City Healthcare trains year-round for high-volume, complex scenarios including hazardous materials (HazMat) decontamination, mass casualty coordination and surge capacity planning.

Medical City Arlington, a Level II Trauma Center located about seven miles from AT&T Stadium, which will be known as Dallas Stadium during the event, is the closest high-level trauma facility to the venue.
