The Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospital at 16100 South Freeway will start construction sometime in 2023 on a new $18.4 million expansion project. The expansion will consist of adding space on the second floor for 33 new beds, adding two intensive care unit beds, relocating 10 ICU beds and adding 21 universal beds, totaling 97 beds in the hospital upon completion.

According to a Pearland Chamber of Commerce release, the current ICU space on the hospital’s 4th floor will be changed to an intermediate care unit.

“The growth in Pearland and the surrounding communities is exciting, but we know we need to also expand to meet needs of the community,” Noel Cardenas, Senior Vice President and CEO at Memorial Hermann Pearland and Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, said in the release.
