HealthBridge expanding its pediatric facilities.

Houston Community Newspapers - March 19, 2008

HealthBridge Children’s Hospital held a topping out ceremony recently to celebrate a new roof on its pediatric specialty hospital at 2929 Woodland Park Drive in the Westchase area.

The new roof is part of a $9.8 million expansion and renovation project at the 24-bed hospital, which treats children with birth and developmental disorders, catastrophic illness or traumatic injury.

Construction began in August 2007 and is expected to be complete this December. The expansion will add 16 inpatient beds, expand outpatient service to include physical, occupational and speech therapies, and add infusion therapy, an in-house laboratory and radiology capabilities. Reception and nursing stations will be improved, and a playground will be added with rehabilitative and recreational equipment. In addition, the rehabilitation gym will be enlarged.

HealthBridge is part of Nexus Health Systems. The hospital is Houston’s first and only pediatric specialty hospital dedicated to helping children from infancy to age 21 reach their highest level of wellness and development.
