WHY?
Harris Health System is embarking on its largest strategic facilities plan to better serve the residents of Harris County for decades to come. The groundbreaking dedication for the new 12-story, Level I trauma-capable hospital on the campus of Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital follows the overwhelming public support for Harris Health’s US $2.5 billion bond referendum in 2023.
The new hospital will have 390 private patient rooms and the potential to expand to 450. The hospital is designed to Level I-trauma standards with plans to become the third adult Level I trauma hospital in Harris County and the first such hospital outside of the Texas Medical Center.
The unnamed new hospital promises to be a monumental city landmark and trauma care leader not only for neighborhoods of northeast Houston and Harris County, but across the southeast Texas region.
