EXPANDING DELIVERY OF COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED CARE In 1951, Houston Methodist relocated to the Texas Medical Center from downtown Houston. Since that time, the hospital’s footprint has expanded exponentially. New construction has begun on the Houston Methodist campus that will enable us to continue to grow and meet our mission of providing comprehensive, integrated and multidisciplinary care to the people we serve. This new facility will function as an epicenter of care and will house all services for diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of neurological conditions. The health professionals housed within this new structure will collaborate across the Houston Methodist system and complement the Houston Methodist Research Institute and Houston Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation & Education (MITIE℠), one of the largest and most comprehensive education and research facilities in the world. Phase I of new construction will be located on our north campus and is slated for completion in 2017. The new North Tower will account for 745,000 to 923,000 square feet and will include: · EXPANDED OR SUITE WITH FOUR HYBRIDS AND I-MRI · ICU/UNIVERSAL BED FLOORS (102 BEDS) · SIX ACUTE BED FLOORS (216 BEDS) · TWO SHELLED BED FLOORS (72 BEDS) · 24 BED VIP UNIT · HELIPAD · CONFERENCE FACILITIES
Specific to neurology and neurosurgery care, our new building will offer: · 36 ICU BEDS · 72 ACUTE CARE BEDS · 2 OPERATING ROOMS WITH I-MRI
At Houston Methodist, we have the flexibility, skill, technology and vision to provide exemplary neurological care to meet the needs of our community while we continue to lead medicine. houstonmethodist.org/ni
