Officials with the HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress, located at Hwy. 290 and Huffmeister Road in Cy-Fair, said they spent 2019 focusing on expanding a number of hospital programs with new technology, including a cardiothoracic program focused on addressing issues with the heart and lungs.
In April, following an evaluation of the area’s health care needs, HCA converted a 181-bed comprehensive hospital, formerly known as the Cypress-Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital, to a 27-bed freestanding emergency center. Officials at the time told Community Impact Newspaper the transition included 586 job cuts or reassignments—about 60 of which were relocated to the North Cypress hospital.
HCA acquired the Cypress-Fairbanks hospital in August 2017 and acquired the North Cypress hospital, formerly known as the North Cypress Medical Center, in September 2018. HCA also operates hospitals in the Spring and Tomball areas.
Most inpatient services previously offered at the Cypress-Fairbanks hospital are now available at the North Cypress hospital, officials said. The freestanding emergency center continues to treat breathing issues, broken bones, severe burns, head injuries and seizures, among other issues.
