Memorial Hermann Health System today announced a $282.5 million expansion of Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital, designed to meet the needs of the region’s rapidly growing population and the rising demand for high-quality, patient-centered care, supported by leading-edge technology. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2026.
The centerpiece of the planned expansion is a new eight-story patient tower, which will include additional inpatient beds, advanced imaging services and a rooftop helipad for Memorial Hermann Life Flight®. Additional plans include the expansion of the pediatric emergency center, surgical services, women’s and children’s services, the laboratory, the pharmacy and multiple support services, including the kitchen and cafeteria.
"We are proud to announce Memorial Hermann Katy’s third major expansion in recent years,” said Jerry Ashworth, senior vice president and CEO of Memorial Hermann Katy and Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospitals. “We are making this strategic investment in response to the phenomenal growth of the greater Katy community along with our ongoing commitment to create personalized and compassionate experiences for our patients.”
Today, Memorial Hermann Katy is finalizing an expansion that has added 100 beds, a third professional office building that is home to TIRR Memorial Hermann Pediatric Outpatient Rehabilitation-Katy, an expanded emergency center, a parking garage and more. In 2016, Memorial Hermann Katy’s first expansion project added the East Tower and a second professional office building.
In addition to strategically growing the campus footprint, Memorial Hermann Katy also continues to grow its capabilities. The campus recently embarked on a journey to achieve Level II Trauma designation, an important step that enables the hospital to treat higher acuity trauma patients.
