Health Care Services and Medical Space to Grow Again at Memorial Hermann

Houston, Texas, July 17, 2003 -- Architects are designing the latest addition to the Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital campus. A second medical office building will bring more office space, more doctors, and more medical services.

The latest project responds to the growing healthcare needs of the Southeast Houston area.
Hospital CEO Dan Martin says, “The expansion is part of our commitment to deliver the best healthcare that Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital can. Since our first medical office building has been fully occupied for several years, an additional building with added services is the right thing to do.”

The new medical office building will be approximately 80,000 to 100,000 square feet and will be built on the hospital’s existing campus.

Not only will the new space allow for the expansion of existing services, there will be more offerings as well. Women’s services will be consolidated by locating in the new building, and will include a new Breast Center. Medical oncology will also be housed in the new structure and will be easy to access.

Along with the services, the facility will allow the addition of as many as 70 more doctors.

The latest building plan is in addition to the $70 million expansion project currently taking place, which allows for expanded clinical and diagnostic areas, including a new Emergency Center, a dedicated Heart Center which features a state of the art cardiac catheterization laboratory, and 18 additional Intensive Care beds. Completion for this project is set for Fall 2004.

Ground breaking for the new medical office building is estimated to begin in mid 2004, and completion is targeted for 2005.
