It is expected to be completed in 2017 and will have the capacity for 378 beds, including 102 intensive care beds, expanded operating suites, hybrid suites and a dedicated cardiology floor with 14 interventional catheterization labs. The new tower, which will cost about $540 million, will include high-tech operating rooms that will dramatically expand Houston Methodist\u2019s ability to provide image-guided heart and brain procedures. These procedures allow for minimally invasive treatment of conditions that once required open surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured above, from left to right: Robert C.
