Work continues on the University Health Woman’s and Children’s Hospital. The 12-story, 300-bed hospital for women, babies and children also features a 900-space parking garage.University Health’s nearly $837 million expansion is well underway, with a new Women’s and Children’s Hospital due to open in late summer 2023.
Once open, officials said, the hospital will be the only one in South Texas focused exclusively on the needs of women and children, providing a home for the region’s first Level IV maternity center and Level IV neonatal intensive care unit, as well as a milk bank, child life center and congenital heart center.
“The biggest challenge was trying to get materials here, but we’ve been really blessed because we placed many of those orders in early ahead of COVID,” he said.“We had to make sure when we were inside the building doing renovations everyone had on their masks, and when cases were rampant, we had to check temperatures and ask everyone how they were feeling,” Freeman said. “I won’t say it slowed us down, but it costs money to have a monitor at the gate.
The architectural design from Marmon Mok plans for 30 intensive care unit rooms, 68 neonatal intensive care unit rooms, 30 acute care rooms, 60 rooms for OB-GYN services and 30 antepartum rooms.
