TEXARKANA, Texas - Texarkana Emergency Center has expanded its services to provide additional inpatient and outpatient aid as a hospital, company officials announced.

"We are now Texarkana Emergency Center and Hospital, and with our expanded capabilities we can bridge the gap from our outstanding emergency room care to include concierge inpatient services as well as outpatient imaging services," Chief Medical Officer Matt Young said.

TEC is now offering inpatient suites with telemetry monitors in every room as well as other amenities to make patient stays as comfortable as possible.

They have added a cafeteria and procedure room and now have MRI capabilities.

With their imaging capabilities, TEC is able to offer ultrasounds, computed tomography (TC) and X-rays.

In the spring 2015, Young announced he would be opening Texarkana's first free-standing emergency center at 4646 Cowhorn Creek Road in the fall.

He said the 10,000-square-foot center would have 10 patient rooms and all the capabilities of a typical hospital emergency room, but no affiliation with a hospital.

"It's a licensed facility that provides the exact same care as a hospital-based emergency room," he said then. "We'll be licensed by the state of Texas and the Department of Health to provide these services."

Like a hospital emergency room, the center is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
