HEALTH CARE ShrinersChildren’sTexas toexpandayear afterHouston-to-Galveston relocation
BY SIERRA ROZEN
said John McCabe, executive vice president for Shriners Hospitals for Children, in a statement. “Operating on the same campus will position us well to achieve our strategic goals for the future.” The hospital plans to construct a $25.5 million patient housing facility and parking garage at the Galveston location for patients and sta , according to Anderson. It is expected to break ground this spring and nish construction sometime in 2023. The housing will add 40 units and be able to accommodate more out-of-state and international residents who visit the hospital. Hospital o cials also planned for more than $40 million in renovations to the facility, which have been ongoing since summer 2020 and are expected to nish sometime in 2023. “[The] hospital has increased the number of outpatient clinics and inpatient rooms as well as its surgical areas to meet the needs of its growing patient population,” Anderson said.
Shriners Children’s Texas will undergo renovations a year after merging and relocating to Galveston. After closing down Shriners Hospitals for Children-Houston at 6977 Main St., Houston, in 2021, the hospital consolidated with Shriners Hospitals for Children-Galveston to become Shriners Children’s Texas, located at 815 Market St., Galveston. The hospital opened its doors Jan. 18, 2021, o ering burn care, ortho- pedics and physical therapy services to patients. The merger aimed to improve the hospital’s e ciency while still providing care to children with burns, cleft lips and palates, and orthopedic conditions, said Jennifer Anderson, marketing and communications director for Shriners Children’s Texas. “Our dedication to the children and their families remains the same— transforming children’s lives with exceptional health care in a patient- and family-centered environment,”
Shriners Children’s Texas will break ground on its new patient housing facility this spring.
