“The Woodlands is a fast-growing area and services such as these<br />

are needed. Since opening in May, we’ve had many people benefit<br />

from the surgical and rehabilitation services, as well as many<br />

who are making the most of the various performance-enhancing<br />

programs and services we have to offer.”<br />

With the Institute in full swing, Urban says hospital officials are<br />

now looking to another big improvement project on the immediate<br />

horizon. “We plan to open a Joint Care Center in the new East<br />

Tower that’s being constructed,” he explained. “This center would<br />

be dedicated to offering joint replacement surgery and rehabilitation<br />

for the baby boomer population who are finding themselves in need<br />

of this type of surgery for their knees and hips. This expansion is<br />

a serious undertaking and will cost at least $80 million and when<br />

it’s done, it will be one of the most impressive centers of its kind.”<br />

The Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Sports Medicine Institute<br />

in The Woodlands is the third such center to be built. The<br />

20,000-square-foot facility is located at 9305 Pinecroft Drive,<br />

Suite 450. The Institute is a collaboration between Memorial<br />

Hermann and University of Texas Physicians, and is an extension<br />

of Memorial Hermann’s long-term partnership with the IRONMAN<br />

series of events. The original Institute is located at the Texas<br />

Medical Center, while the second is housed at the Memorial City<br />

Medical Center.”<br />

20,000 square feet dedicated to enhancing the<br />

strength and performance of area athletes.<br />

With its goal to push the frontiers of sport medicine, the<br />

Institute offers high-quality, sport-specific care for athletes of all<br />

abilities and ages.<br />
