Welcome to Harrisville!


Some people call Texas Health Fort Worth Harris Hospital a small town since its grown so much. Along with this hospital growth, so do the opportunities for you to explore while you’re here. Click HERE for a map to “Harrisville,” population 4,023 (number of employees) who are here to serve you. Listed below are some places to consider the next time you’re “passing through” our town.

As a town, our picturesque park would be the Morris Meditation Garden. It’s a beautiful place to get away without having to. The park entrance is by the Heart Center entrance. Open every day during daytime hours.

As a town, our family diner is the brand new Cramer Café which offers something for everyone and it’s no “greasy spoon.” Fresh sandwiches, salad bar, Italian, hamburgers, taco bar, soups, and more. The café is located by the Bloxom Tower with the main serving hours between 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM.

Our local place of worship is highlighted by the Castleberry Memorial Chapel. From the Richardson Tower elevator go to the Plaza Level and behind the elevator is the chapel’s entrance.

Our newly renovated library is here to help with medical research and offers internet access. Go up the escalator from the ground floor of the Harris Tower. Keep veering right past the elevator. Open daily Monday – Friday, 817-250-3191.

No town is complete without a general store. The 5th Avenue Gift Shop offers flowers, magazines, gifts, and snacks and is located on the Ground Level of the Richardson Tower. Open daily with a smile, 817-250-3024.

Our “town square” is in the Klabzuba tower, the separate building just a few steps south of our Emergency Department which offers numerous opportunities to improve your health on the ground floor:
• The Cancer Resource Library & Consumer Health Information Center has a large selection of books to consider along with internet access.
• The Healing Arts Center offers 4 types of massages, clinical aromatherapy, and reflexology. 817-820-4839
• Cancer Boutique and Resource Center helps cancer survivors with many specific needs. 817-820-4861

Parking can be an issue for any town so if you’re planning on staying a few days, Standard Parking Company located on the ground floor of the Harris Professional Center offers discounted parking tickets for the visitor’s garages, 5 tickets for $10.00, 817-250-7885.

Our “bank” (which means ATM machines) are located in the Jones Tower lobby by the west entrance doors and also in the Emergency Department lobby.

These are just a few things to see in our “town.” Like any town, what makes it special are the people who are here to welcome you during your stay.
