Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen is preparing a $1.7 million overhaul of its nuclear medicine facility, replacing aging equipment and renovating the interior of the diagnostic imaging space at 1105 N. Central Expressway.
The project came to light through a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which Community Impact first reported Monday, Sept. 14.
The filing estimates work running from Aug. 1, 2026, through April 1, 2027.
A Texas Health spokesperson told Community Impact the project has not started despite the filing timeline. The hospital did not say when work would begin.
Nuclear medicine uses specialized imaging to help physicians diagnose and plan treatment for a range of conditions.
The equipment produces detailed pictures of organs and tissues that standard X-rays cannot capture. For Allen-area patients, the upgrade means the hospital's diagnostic imaging capabilities will stay current without requiring a trip to a larger facility in Plano or Dallas.
The nuclear medicine renovation is part of a broader pattern of capital spending at the Allen campus under President Amanda Thrash.
In July, Chief Nursing Officer Kari McCord told Community Impact the hospital planned to expand both its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and its labor and delivery unit.
"We do have some big plans ahead in regards to expansion," McCord said in July, discussing the hospital's growing patient volume. Those expansions would separate labor and delivery from recovery and postpartum care into dedicated spaces.
The hospital also opened a Community Resource Center on its campus in 2025, serving adults in Collin County with unmanaged chronic conditions.
Taken together, the investments signal that Texas Health Resources is betting on Allen's continued growth.
The city's population has climbed steadily, and the hospital sits along the U.S. Highway 75 corridor, one of the busiest commercial stretches in Collin County.
The TDLR filing does not require a public hearing. Residents who use the nuclear medicine department should watch for the hospital to announce scheduling changes once construction begins.
