Memorial Hermann, Tomball Regional Medical Center To Open
Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital and Tomball Regional Medical Center today announced their collaboration to open and operate a freestanding emergency center on Woodlands Parkway at Highway 2978. The 11,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open its doors September 2008, will house a 24-hour, full-service emergency center with ambulance access, imaging services, occupational medicine, community education and more. "Joining forces with Tomball Regional Medical Center will enable us to expand our emergency services capabilities to better meet the needs of a region that is expected to grow by as much as 20 percent over the next five years," said Steve Sanders, CEO of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands.
"This collaboration makes strategic sense as both of our hospitals seek to fully serve the outer boundaries of our shared markets while not duplicating costs and services. Our shared focus on patient centered care makes this venture a win-win for everyone," said Lynn LeBouef, President and CEO of Tomball Regional Medical Center. Preliminary plans for the facility, which will be located in The Shops at Terramont II, a multi-use development offering convenient access and on-site parking, call for eight to 10 emergency treatment rooms and space to accommodate state-of-the-art emergency medical equipment, including a CT scanner and diagnostic X-Ray and ultrasound equipment, as well as an on-site laboratory.
Additionally, attending physicians and staff will have specialized training in emergency medicine with proven expertise in successfully managing urgent situations ranging from bruises and broken bones to heart attacks and stroke. Sandy Aron of Houston-based Hunington Properties, Inc. will oversee the development and leasing of The Shops at Terramont II on behalf of a Texas LLC entity. Construction is scheduled to begin immediately.
