The first new skilled nursing facility to be built in Odessa in approximately 30 years is now under construction, thanks to Garland, Texas-based SCC Healthcare Group. The Madison Medical Resort, a $10 million, 43,000-square-foot facility, is scheduled for opening sometime next summer. It will host post-hospital recovery, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities.

Dan Marick, regional director of SCC Healthcare Group, said Ector County was chosen as the site for the company's seventh facility for two reasons. One was that area was recommended by Smithers Merchant Builders, a San Antonio firm that does all of SCC's facilities construction. "We're partners with them in finding locations in the state of Texas that would be effective for a skilled nursing facility, and Odessa-Midland has certainly popped up," he said.
