Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital employees and volunteers recently celebrated the opening of our new six-story patient tower. A ribbon-cutting and blessing ceremony was held on February 26 to mark the launch of the new Brazos Pavilion, which will house 104 patient care beds, bringing the hospital’s total bed count to 347.
Brazos Pavilion’s 20-bed intensive care unit opened on February 29 and build-out for an additional 56 medical/surgical beds will be completed in May. An additional 28 beds will be added based on demand from our community. “We’ve worked hard to expand our physical footprint and enhance our facilities to meet the growing needs of our community,” says Chris Siebenaler, CEO. “This is a significant investment in the community and the patients we serve. We should all be very proud.”
The opening of the new Brazos Pavilion is the culmination of our $131 million expansion program that began in 2013. In addition to the Brazos Pavilion, we added an 8,900-square-foot emergency center in Missouri City; a 75,000-square-foot facility for Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine; and a 20,000-square-foot Heart & Vascular Center, adjacent to the hospital’s Emergency Department.
