$104 Million Expansion Project Raises Level of Care for Community
THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- October 27, 2009 -- Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital, which has been serving The Woodlands and nearby communities for nearly 25 years, will break ground on a new, seven-story patient tower early next year. The cost of the project is roughly $104 million.
Phase one of the 240,000-square-foot expansion will add eight state-of-the-art surgical suites and surgical support services, including pre-operation and recovery rooms, waiting areas and sterile processing. Additionally, a patient care unit with 36 beds and a parking garage will be added. This will bring the hospital’s total bed count to 288. Three shelled floors will accommodate future growth and could include additional patient beds, an expanded Emergency Center, and clinical support services.
“Since 1991, we have invested more than $180 million to respond to the growth and needs of this dynamic market,” said Steve Sanders, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital Chief Executive Officer. “The greater Montgomery County area is one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. and it is our responsibility to continue to respond to that growth not only with facilities like the new patient tower, but also technology and a higher level of services.”
This is the third major expansion project undertaken by Memorial Hermann The Woodlands in the past decade. In 2003 the hospital completed a six-story patient tower, and a third medical office building was opened on campus in 2005. In addition to facility expansion projects, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands continues to expand its services and medical specialties on campus and beyond.
The hospital recently opened a new community 24-Hour Emergency Services on Woodlands Parkway and has established an ongoing relationship with Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and Children’s Memorial Hermann, Mischer Neuroscience Institute and the University of Texas Health Science Center.
“We continue to invest in our future to meet the growing needs of our community,” said Josh Urban, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are well on our way to accomplishing our vision to bring a medical center level of care to the communities we serve.”
Expansion details at a glance:
- Addition of eight surgical suites, bringing the campus total to 21 suites
