The latest project to be completed is the hospital’s Medical Office Building 4, located on the west side of the campus. The six-story, 150,000-square-foot building, which opened on May 10, is the new home of Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine at Clear Lake as well as the hospital’s physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. The building includes new office and clinical space for doctors across a range of medical specialties and gives the
hospital additional capacity to bring new doctors to the area. Houston Methodist Clear Lake has plans to add as many as 40 new physicians in the near future. “This year is definitely all about growth,” said Dan Newman, Houston Methodist Clear Lake CEO. “And the opening of Medical Office Building 4 is our biggest milestone. It gives us a state-of-the-art orthopedics and sports medicine facility as well as room for the latest and most advanced physical therapy and rehabilitation equipment and techniques. It enables us to grow our physician base and expand our services in a variety of specialties too. That flexibility is important as we continue to respond to community needs.”
A Strategic Plan for Growth The developments in 2021 are part of a long-term strategy that will eventually include an expansion of the hospital itself. “Our goal is to create the ‘hospital of choice’ for both providers and residents across the Clear Lake region — one that offers a comprehensive level of services to meet the community’s needs,” said Newman. “We’re certainly proud of the new facilities we’ve opened, and we’re not done growing yet.” Visit houstonmethodist.org/ locations/clear-lake to learn more or call 281.523.2000 to find a doctor.
