Houston Methodist Sugar Land Breaks Ground

Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has announced that it has broken ground on a top notch facility—60, 000 square feet of excellence—that will house Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. According to the hospital, the new building will include space for physical therapy, occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, an outside training facility for athletes recovering from injury, a sports medicine urgent care clinic and a sports performance training program. The building is expected to be completed in the summer of 2015.

“Having a facility like this on campus is a major step forward for our physicians, staff and patients, ” says Dr. Carl Hicks of Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, in the June 20, 2014 news release. “From diagnosis through treatment and rehabilitation, we will have everything a patient needs at one site, in a comfortable, convenient environment that is specially designed for orthopedics and sports medicine. We are thrilled to be moving to the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital campus and we know the new facility will enable us to provide an even higher level of care and service to our patients.”

A hospital representative told OTW, “Designing this building has been a team effort by physicians, staff, administration and architects—with the patient experience being our primary focus. We will be adding enhanced technology to streamline our processes, including electronic medical records that can be shared throughout the Houston Methodist System. To expedite the registration process, we will be integrating wireless technology and a patient care coordinator to assist patients throughout their visits. The improved technology will enable us to continue to focus on delivering compassionate, quality care to each patient that chooses Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine for their health care needs.”
