Another Step for South Tyler Hospital

TYLER — A new hospital for south Tyler is a step closer to reality. The Tyler city council yesterday approved a special use permit and a rezoning for the site at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Cumberland Road. Trinity Mother Frances and Emerus Hospitals are working together to build the hospital at the Villages at Cumberland Park shopping center. The hospital, which is expected to bring 100 new jobs to the city, is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2016. The three story, multi-million dollar hospital will feature emergency room services, an imaging center, general practitioners and specialists and will be open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
