Metrocrest Hospital Authority is a Texas political subdivision and unit of local government formed in 1975 to foster a quality healthcare environment for providers and users within its service area and to maintain the authority’s capacity to meet local health needs. Originally named the Farmers Branch Hospital Authority, the entity adopted the Metrocrest designation in the late 1980s to reflect a broader community footprint that includes North Dallas, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Coppell, Addison, and The Colony, and it is based in Carrollton, Texas. The authority possesses powers typical of a local government body, including eminent domain, and enjoys sovereign immunity. 

In the Hospitals and Health Care sector, the organization works to support access to healthcare across its service area, coordinating with local providers and institutions. In 2023 it partnered with PediPlace, Woven Health Clinic, and Carrollton Fire Rescue, as well as the City of Carrollton, to disseminate information on low-cost health care services available locally. Recent coverage also notes the authority’s involvement in introducing new treatment options, such as Zolgensma for spinal muscular atrophy, reflecting engagement with evolving healthcare offerings.
