History

The hospital was established in the 1980s. In 1999 Memorial Hermann acquired the hospital.[2]

In 1999 Memorial Hermann Hospital purchased a plot of land from HCA Inc. and established the Katy Hospital there.[3] The hospital, licensed for 118 beds, was on Pin Oak Road in Katy, west of Katy Mills Mall.[4] The hospital there had 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of space.[5] In 2005 the hospital system put the ex-HCA land and the campus on it for sale.[3] A daylong move to the new $98 million facility occurred on Saturday December 9, 2006. The current hospital has about 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) of space.[5]

In October 2013 the hospital held a groundbreaking for a 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) patient tower. Construction of the facility, with an estimated cost of $70 million begin in early 2014, and began accommodating patients in January 2016. It has increased the hospital's bed count from 144 to over 200. The new tower has a larger ICU and IMU, new laboratory facilities, has increased the number of surgical suits, a Level III NICU, a new cardiac catheterization lab, additional office space as well as room for approximately 80 more patient care rooms.
