History

The hospital was established in the 1980s. In 1999 Memorial Hermann acquired the hospital.^[2]

In 1999 Memorial Hermann Hospital purchased a plot of land from HCA Inc. It established the Katy Hospital there.^[3] The hospital, licensed for 118 beds, was on Pin Oak Road in Katy, west of Katy Mills Mall.^[4] The hospital there had 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) of space.^[5] In 2005 the hospital system put the ex-HCA land and the campus on it for sale.^[3] A daylong move to the new $98 million facility occurred on Saturday December 9, 2006. The current hospital has about 300,000 square feet (28,000 m²) of space.^[5]

In October 2013 the hospital held a groundbreaking for a 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m²) patient tower. Construction of the facility, with an estimated cost of $70 million began in early 2014, and began accommodating patients in January 2016. It has increased the hospital's bed count from 144 to over 200. The new tower has a larger ICU and IMU, new laboratory facilities, has increased number of surgical suits, a Level III NICU, a new cardiac catheterization lab, additional office space, and room for approximately 80 more patient care rooms.

Professional building 2 was constructed in 2014/15 and was completed in the fall of 2015.^[2]
