5 health care updates from Cy-Fair hospitals

The $685 million project has been in development for about five years and brought 700 new employees by the opening date.

The hospital opened with 100 beds, 18 childbirth center rooms and nine operating rooms, but officials plan to expand the facility as the community grows.

A $100 million expansion is underway, with a new patient tower expected to open in early 2026. This project includes a 22-bed acute rehabilitation unit, 31 medical-surgical beds, expanded parking and a larger central sterile processing department. The existing lobby, cafe and public corridors are also getting upgrades.

Frontline teams are using AI-generated summaries in day-to-day coordination and discharge planning. Officials said this allows clinicians to spend more time with patients. Virtual ICU technology is complementing bedside support, and in-room cameras bring virtual care to the admissions and discharge processes.

4. Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital

A $277.5 million hospital expansion is set to break ground this fall and open in 2027. Project highlights will include a new six-story tower, 40 inpatient beds, 12 TIRR Memorial Hermann inpatient rehabilitation beds, an emergency room expansion nearly doubling in size and four additional operating rooms.

In late 2024, the hospital received a Primary (Level III) Stroke Facility designation from the Texas Department of State Health Services.

“Our hospital has the combination of the necessary equipment, expert staff and extensive training to provide the best possible stroke care,” hospital president Mario Garner said.
