5 health care updates from local hospitals
3 Houston Methodist Clear Lake Houston Methodist Clear Lake Hospital introduced new services over the past year, including robotic- assisted spine surgery and a sleep center. The robotic surgery is the first of its kind in Houston’s Bay Area and allows for greater precision, resulting in less tissue trauma and a quicker recovery for patients. A new sleep center, which is staffed with registered sleep technologists and board-certified sleep physicians to provide diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, was also introduced in the past year.
4 Memorial Hermann Southeast Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital redesigned its imaging department to include a new MRI machine and a designated CT scanner in efforts to improve patient care. The hospital also opened a retail pharmacy for staff, physicians and the public, along with a community resource center that provides tools and support for residents. Its cardiac rehabilitation services were relocated to a larger space to accommodate more patients as well.
