Texas Health Specialty Hospital Fort Worth is a Pathways to Excellence accredited facility. Our care team works collaboratively with medical staff, clinical leadership, and support personnel across the hospital. We provide our staff with the tools and support they need to deliver quality care, manage complex conditions, and guide patients through recovery.
