The freestanding ER near White Rock Lake brings board-certified emergency physicians, on-site imaging, and minimal wait times to Lakewood, Casa Linda, Lake Highlands, and greater East Dallas. Neighbors are invited to a free ribbon-cutting celebration on Thursday, August 13, 2026.

DALLAS, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Focus Health today announced the grand opening of ER of White Rock, a new 24/7 freestanding emergency room at 10705 Northwest Hwy in East Dallas. Located near White Rock Lake, the facility gives Lakewood, Casa Linda, Lake Highlands, and greater East Dallas residents a dedicated, board-certified alternative to crowded hospital emergency departments.

The public is invited to a free ribbon-cutting celebration on Thursday, August 13, 2026, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. CT at the facility. The event features a ribbon-cutting ceremony, guided tours, a chance to meet the medical team, refreshments, and family-friendly activities. Admission is free, and neighbors can RSVP online.

At ER of White Rock, patients of all ages are seen by a board-certified emergency physician within minutes of arrival, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The fully licensed facility is equipped with on-site CT scan, digital X-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and pharmacy services — the same core capabilities as a hospital ER, designed for rapid triage and treatment.

"We built ER of White Rock so families in East Dallas never have to choose between fast care and quality care," said Dr. Steven H. Thompson, Chief Medical Officer. "Our team is ready around the clock, and we cannot wait to welcome our neighbors through the doors and show them what emergency care close to home looks like."

Hospital emergency departments across Dallas often carry wait times of three to five hours. ER of White Rock also brings local healthcare jobs for physicians, nurses, technicians, and support staff to East Dallas, and it joins the Focus Health portfolio alongside ER of Irving and ER of Lufkin.
