Best healthcare security companies in Fort Worth (2026)
Fort Worth is unusual for a city its size in running two competing adult Level I trauma centers rather than one shared referral point. JPS Health Network's John Peter Smith Hospital, a 573-bed Tarrant County public hospital, is the county's designated Level I safety-net center — one of only 20 in Texas. A few miles away, Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth, part of the nonprofit Texas Health Resources system, was redesignated a Comprehensive Level I Trauma Facility by the Texas Department of State Health Services after reverification by the American College of Surgeons. Two Level I programs with different funding models — one county-run safety net, one private nonprofit — operate in parallel across the metro rather than one institution absorbing the region's high-acuity load. Cook Children's Medical Center, one of the largest freestanding pediatric hospitals in the country, runs its own Level II pediatric trauma program a short distance from both adult centers.
That parallel-Level-I structure means a security contract built around JPS's public safety-net caseload doesn't automatically transfer to Texas Health Fort Worth's private nonprofit campus, or to Cook Children's pediatric-specific environment. Calvis verifies every agency in its Fort Worth network against Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau licensing and healthcare-specific training before matching a facility to agencies with a documented track record in the right one of these three environments.

Inside healthcare security in Fort Worth
JPS sits closer to downtown and carries Tarrant County's uninsured and underinsured trauma volume, while Texas Health Fort Worth's private nonprofit model draws more evenly from an insured referral base — a split not unlike Nashville's HCA-versus-academic dynamic, but with two Level I trauma designations rather than one. Fort Worth's industrial base adds its own referral pressure on both centers: the Alliance corridor's logistics and intermodal freight operations, aerospace manufacturing tied to Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth plant, and the ongoing Stockyards tourism district all generate workplace-injury and vehicle-related trauma that funnels into whichever Level I center is closer to the incident, rather than one dominant regional draw.
