Hospital Services

Metroplex is a 208-bed hospital providing convenient and comprehensive health services in Killeen Texas, including MRI and 64-slice CT scan, dedicated x-ray suite for ED, cath lab, and cardiology program. From the center's trauma and cardiac care rooms to its central monitoring system, it is equipped for treating critical emergency conditions. The ED recently expanded to nearly 40 beds, doubling its capacity.

Metroplex Emergency Service utilizes an improved system for delivering emergency medical care. When patients enter the emergency room, they are immediately assessed and quickly directed to the appropriate level of care. A triage system for determining degree of need assures that critical care can be administered quickly and effectively. The physicians and nurses work as a team to ensure fast, effective treatment.

The latest equipment needed to assess patients’ needs is available to the team. A patient does not have to be moved to another part of the hospital for x-rays, because Metroplex Emergency Service has a dedicated x-ray suite just for the emergency room.
