The hospital, renamed the Memorial Hermann Orthopedic & Spine Hospital, strengthens the Memorial Hermann Health System's orthopedic and spine services in the Greater Houston area. Centrally located in Bellaire, Texas, near The Galleria, Memorial Hermann Orthopedic & Spine Hospital joins Memorial Hermann's already well-es- tablished and wide-reaching network of orthopedic, spine and joint replacement facilities and services, which includes three Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Sports Medicine Institutes and seven Memorial Hermann Joint Centers. The Joint Center that previously oper- ated out of Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center will move to Memorial Hermann Orthopedic & Spine Hospital. "Memorial Hermann has achieved unprecedented growth and success over the last decade in our orthopedic and spine service lines, which has allowed our System to meet the grow- ing demand in our community," said Dan Wolterman, President and CEO of Memorial Hermann. "HOSH has an outstanding clinical reputation, as well as a dedicated employee base and a strong medical staff that adds tremen- dous value to Memorial Hermann's highly regarded orthopedic and spine services." To ensure a seamless transition for all patients, Memorial Hermann Orthopedic & Spine Hospital will oper- ate under business-as-usual status with full integration of HOSH employees. "It is an honor to become part of a health system that has set such a high standard for patient experience and quality care in the Houston area for more than 100 years," said Hank Blum, M.D., who has served as Governing Board Chair of HOSH since its incep- tion. "It is an exciting time for our hos- pital and we look forward to continuing and expanding our well-earned and awarded reputation for excellence in orthopedics, joint and spinal care." Operating since 2006, the surgical hospital has 64 beds and 10 operating rooms, all of which will be licensed under Memorial Hermann-TMC. "We are thrilled to welcome the physicians and staff at HOSH to Memorial Hermann," said Craig Cordola, Regional President at Memorial Hermann. "They have estab- lished an outstanding clinical repu- tation within the community for their advanced specialty services. We look forward to working together as a single entity with a common vision and goal: to advance the health of the Greater Houston area and provide the very best care to our patients." — Kathryn Klein Memorial Hermann- Texas Medical Center T H E P A R K L A N E 1 7 0 1 H E R M A N N D R . | 7 1 3 . 5 2 6 .
