Houston Hospital Embarking on $247M Expansion

Houston Methodist West Hospital will soon kick off a $247 million expansion project. It’s scheduled to commence this fall, with anticipated completion by 2027.

The project includes $185 million for hospital expansion and $62 million for community expansion. The expansion encompasses over 129,000 square feet of new and renovated service areas.

Key enhancements include:

• Clinical Areas: A 36-bed observation unit will increase the hospital’s total bed count to 307. Four operating rooms, 16 additional emergency department rooms, five new neonatal intensive care unit beds, and a new endoscopy suite will also be included. This expansion will also include an infusion center with six additional suites and advanced imaging equipment featuring one MRI, two CT scanners, and ultrasound.

Beyond the main campus expansion, Houston Methodist will establish a new comprehensive care center in the Fulshear area. Adjacent to its current emergency care center in Cinco Ranch, a new 65,000 square-foot facility will provide:

• Primary care and same-day clinic
• Imaging, lab services, and physical therapy
• Specialized care in orthopedics, neurology, gastroenterology, urology, and rheumatology
