Nutex Health has reopened Bayou City ER & Hospital in northeast Houston, US, expanding emergency and inpatient healthcare services for the local community.

Providing 24/7, round-the-year care, the 40,000ft² facility is equipped with eight emergency room beds and 46 inpatient beds. It houses a full-service laboratory and features advanced imaging capabilities, such as CT, X-ray, and ultrasound.

The hospital offers same-day scheduling for imaging procedures and rapid turnaround for test results, providing timely care.

Nutex Health operates 27 facilities across 12 states through its two divisions: hospital division, which manages micro-hospitals and speciality hospitals; and population health management division, which operates provider networks such as Independent Physician Associations.

Bayou City ER and Hospital’s chief administrative officer and chief nursing officer Laura Rodriguez said: “With opening day finally here, the excitement surrounding Bayou City ER and Hospital is difficult to put into words. Today, the facility stands as a beautiful, state-of-the-art building ready to serve the community.

“Bayou City ER and Hospital is delighted to open its doors and become a trusted healthcare partner for the community, delivering compassionate care, advanced medical services, and a welcoming environment from day one.”

Nutex Health chairman and CEO Tom Vo said: “Our vision is to transform healthcare delivery by providing specialised services for patients with unique needs, such as behavioural health, medical detox, and other challenging conditions, which traditional systems struggle to treat efficiently.

“By expanding these critical resources, we aim to not only improve individual lives but also strengthen the overall health and resilience of the community.”

In April 2024, Nutex Health opened Green Bay ER & Hospital, a medical facility situated in Bellevue, Wisconsin, US.
