Memorial Hermann, The Woodlands Hospital expanded its service delivery with the addition of a new 8-story patient tower. The new tower ties directly into the existing hospital’s structure to add 138 patient beds and increased the surgical department by five operating rooms while expanding the cardiopulmonary department and significantly enlarging the hospital’s imaging department and associated support departments. To accommodate these new features the medical campus expanded its existing parking garage, adding a new connecting pedestrian bridge for direct access to the tower.
Expanding the Surgical Department for Patient-Centered Care
Memorial Hermann The Woodlands is the busiest suburban campus in the Memorial Hermann Health System. Due to the need for additional surgical spaces the team created a design to increase the count while remaining operational. The current surgery department housed 18 existing ORs with three (3) central surgical cores, the renovation, and the expansion of this department will increase the ORs by five (5). A separate central core with three (3) ORs will be added with the remaining two (2) new ORs to extend the existing OR central core. Each central core hub will provide specialty care to streamline the Surgical Department’s operationally efficiencies.
