MARBLE FALLS — A 44-bed, full-range hospital will be ready in late 2014 instead of 2016, two years earlier than planned, according to Scott & White Healthcare officials.

“We are pleased that we are able to move forward with the first phase of the hospital bed tower ahead of schedule by almost two years,” Scott & White President and CEO Dr. Robert Pryor said in an April 26 press release.

The Wayne and Eileen Hurd Regional Medical Center campus hospital tower, which will hold 44 beds, is opening two years sooner due to the faster pace of construction, Pryor said.
