A Bold Step Forward: Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital Expands to Meet the Needs of a Growing Community

Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital is breaking new ground—literally and figuratively—with a $150 million expansion designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the Katy community. This major investment is more than construction—it’s a promise to deliver greater access, advanced care, and an exceptional patient experience, all while honoring the hospital’s legacy of trusted service.

The project adds 120,000 square feet of new space, boosting capacity by 25% and creating room for more inpatient beds, efficient layouts, and spaces built for both comfort and healing. It’s a thoughtful transformation that blends innovation with care at every level.

A major highlight of the expansion is the Emergency Department upgrade, engineered to reduce wait times by up to 30%—because when seconds matter, speed saves lives. Outpatient services are also growing, with the ability to support a projected 40% increase in visits, ensuring faster, more convenient care close to home.

Inside the walls, high-performance technology is taking center stage. The hospital will feature next-gen imaging systems that deliver results 50% faster, along with state-of-the-art surgical suites designed for precision and flexibility—giving physicians the tools they need to deliver outstanding outcomes.

And because true care extends beyond clinical walls, this expansion is also built with sustainability in mind. Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems are expected to cut the hospital’s energy usage by 20%, reinforcing Memorial Hermann’s commitment to long-term wellness—for both people and the planet.

The expansion is creating more than just square footage—it’s creating opportunity. With 250+ construction jobs and future roles in healthcare operations, the project supports economic growth in the region while strengthening access to world-class care.

Now in Phase Two, construction is underway on new patient care wings and essential support areas. The final phase will focus on technology integration and preparing the new spaces for opening—bringing the vision of expanded, community-centered care to life.

This is more than an expansion—it’s a future-forward investment in the health and heart of Katy.
