DFW International Airport is now home to what's being touted as the first airport emergency room in the world.
The 8,160-square-foot facility, which was pitched by Texas company Code 3 ER and Urgent Care in 2015 and approved by the airport’s board in 2016, opened Friday at 2390 Innovation Drive at the airport's southern end.
A combination of the company’s North Texas pride and the state’s laws spurred the ER’s construction, according to company officials.
