Here are three updates from local hospitals in the area.
Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital
The hospital is making headway on its ongoing $231 million expansion, most recently breaking ground on its north tower in late January. The seven-story tower will feature 52 additional patient beds, surgical suites, expanded emergency care and a neonatal intensive care unit.
Meanwhile, tenants should begin moving into the hospital’s new medical tower in early fall, and the new parking garage opened in early 2025, hospital officials said. The expansion was set to finish in 2026, but it’s been delayed until early 2027.

Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital
In March, the hospital began construction on the second phase of its $20.7 million emergency department expansion aimed at increasing the number of patients served each year, Senior Communications Specialist Amanda Gamez said.
The second phase will renovate the hospital’s existing emergency department space, while the first phase brought a new space, which opened to the public March 24, she said. The renovations to the existing space will bring:
- Five treatment rooms
- 11 results pending rooms
- 14 observation spaces
- An additional CT machine to assist with outpatient imaging
The renovations are set to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year, Gamez said.

St. Luke's Health - Sugar Land Hospital
In May, the hospital earned the top hospital safety grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit focused on patient safety. The group grades hospitals based on more than 30 measures, assessing preventable medical errors, infections and injuries, according to a news release.
The “A” grade shows the hospital’s dedication to patient safety, Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said in the release.
“At St. Luke’s Health, we’re committed to ensuring the safest possible experience for every person who walks through our doors,” Michael Lawson, Houston Market President of St. Luke’s Health, said in the release.
