Methodist Hospital Stone Oak participated in the 4th Annual Stone Oak Business Association Business Expo. It was held September 28, 2006, at the Ronald Reagan High School cafeteria. Nearly 100 businesses participated including medical, financial, real estate, insurance, restaurants, and home based businesses. JoAnn King, director of public relations for Methodist Healthcare, greeted guests and provided virtual tours of the hospital of the future. “When will the hospital open?” was the most asked question. In late 2008 is the answer! Many members of the community who visited the Methodist Stone Oak Hospital table expressed how much they are looking forward to having a Methodist hospital nearby.
