Leadership and staff from Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital broke ground Sept. 30 on a $277.5 million expansion of the campus—the third major expansion since the hospital opened in 2017.

What’s being done

The project includes the construction of a six-story patient tower at the existing campus located at 27800 Northwest Freeway, Cypress—expanding the hospital’s capacity to 201 beds, with the potential to grow to 345 beds at full occupancy, according to a news release.

The new tower will house additional inpatient, surgical, emergency and specialty care services, including four new operating rooms, an enhanced neonatal intensive care unit and a new catheterization lab, Jerry Ashworth, CEO of Memorial Hermann Cypress and Katy hospitals, said at the Sept. 30 event.
