Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital Announces $277.5 Million Expansion to Enhance Capacity and Services by 2027
Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital has announced an impressive $277.5 million expansion project which is intended to significantly boost the hospital's capacity and service area by 2027. This project, which has been approved by the Memorial Hermann Health System Board, is the third expansion initiated by the hospital in its brief seven-year existence, according to a recent press release.
The project is set to introduce 58 additional beds to the hospital and expand its service area by 347,000 square feet. Jerry Ashworth, the senior vice president and CEO of Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, reflected on the expansion stating, "Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital is committed to meeting the ever-growing health care needs of the Cypress and Waller communities. This expansion is more than a brick-and-mortar project. It will allow us to continue to add and enhance clinical specialties and programs to ensure our neighbors can access both routine and complex health care services close to home."

Additionally, the tower will also accommodate 40 universal beds, an array of specialist services including a dialysis suite and the campus’ kitchen and café.
Furthermore, the expansion project will significantly bolster the capabilities of the hospital's Emergency Center, with a boost in bed count from 27 to 40, including eight pediatric rooms and four trauma rooms.
