Jody Benningfield’s journey to was not ideal. He spent almost a year in the hospital, but through his journey, he learned many lessons and made lasting connections during his time. His resilience and the support he received have made a significant impact on his recovery.

"Don't give up. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Keep going. Keep pushing. When you think you can't do it anymore, yes, you can. If you're feeling down, call someone to help encourage you, whether it's your loved one or your nurse, because someone is cheering you on. And if you don't think anyone is cheering you on, I am."

Our Story

In October 1877, future Fort Worth mayor John Peter Smith deeded five acres of land at what is now 1500 South Main Street to provide a place where individuals from Fort Worth and Tarrant County "could have the best of medical care." It would be many years before his vision for a facility on that location would be realized, but not so long before the first public hospital for the community was established.

In 1906, a hospital affiliated with the Fort Worth Medical College was opened in Fort Worth free to all accident cases and any other cases which the authorities will accept, and the foundation for JPS Health Network was laid. Seven years later, county commissioners agreed to match city funds for the operation of a city and county hospital, which soon opened with 25 beds.

By 1938, the downtown location was well past adequate for the demands of the region, and construction of the new hospital, on the land donated by John Peter Smith, began. The 166-bed City-County Hospital rose to many challenges, including the polio epidemic, and served as the main trauma center for Tarrant County.

In 1954, the name of the hospital was officially changed to John Peter Smith Hospital, and in 1959 the Tarrant County Hospital District was created to give the organization a sound financial footing.
