3 health care updates from local hospitals
1 Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus
2 Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital A new pediatric outpatient rehabilitation clinic is set to open at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital in September, hospital officials said. The program—staffed by specially trained therapists—will offer personalized rehabilitation for each patient based on each child’s lifestyle, educational and personal needs. The Katy location will be the first standalone outpatient location, although Memorial Hermann offers pediatric therapy at six other locations in the Greater Houston area.
3 Houston Methodist West Hospital Houston Methodist will finish construction later this year on its $62 million comprehensive care center in the Cinco Ranch area. The 65,000-square-foot building will offer primary care and same-day clinic appointments, imaging and lab services, physical therapy services and specialized care services such as orthopedics and neurology. Hospital officials said the Fulshear center is on track to finish construction by the end of this year and open in the first quarter of 2026.
In April 2024, Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus reintroduced its Clinic to Same Day Surgery Visit Program aimed at streamlining care for young children between 6 months and 3 years old with recurrent ear infections. The program—which is offered three times a month—combines an ears, nose and throat evaluation with ear tube surgery to limit the number of visits needed, hospital officials said.
