"I am especially proud of the nurses we have hired at Memorial Hermann Cypress," said Jessica Rivas, Chief Nursing Officer for the hospital. "For areas like our NICU, many of our nurses have specialty certifications. We hope patients will rest easy, knowing everyone caring for them is both highly trained and compassionate."
It took two years to build Memorial Hermann Cypress. In order to accommodate future growth, the master plan also includes the capacity to nearly double the number of inpatient beds to 145 in the current patient bed tower, as well as the construction of a life flight helipad. It also allows for two additional patient bed towers and two more medical plazas.
