Memorial Hermann Katy (Texas) Hospital broke ground on a $167 million expansion that will add a new medical plaza and parking garage and increase the size of the emergency room, Houston Business Journal reported April 4.
Additionally, the hospital is set to open a new 40-bed medical-surgical care unit later this week. The parking garage project is expected to be complete in 2024, and construction of the new medical plaza will wrap up in 2025.
"Today we recognize many months of planning and countless hours of preparation that have gone into this expansion and celebrate the tremendous opportunity to continue to grow alongside our flourishing community," Memorial Hermann Katy CEO Jerry Ashworth told the Houston Business Journal. "Our top priorities throughout this process have been to add ample physical space to accommodate more patients, and equally as important, to significantly grow our capabilities and specialty services to ensure our neighbors can access routine and complex health care needs close to home."
