“This expansion reflects our long‑term commitment to Cypress. We want to keep raising the bar for health care by improving access and putting patients at the center of everything we do, all while offering unparalleled care close to home,” said Trent Fulin, chief executive officer of Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital and senior vice president of Houston Methodist.
The Cypress population grew notably in the 77433 ZIP code as master-planned communities near the Grand Parkway, including Bridgeland and Elyson, have added thousands of new homes to the western region. In comparison, ZIP codes east of Hwy. 6 saw less residential growth, with 77095 the only ZIP code to have declined since 2019, the data shows.
“Opening the hospital a year ago was an important step, and the vision for this hospital has always been to continue to grow to meet the needs of the surrounding community,” Fulin said.
