CHI St. Luke’s Health plans
major medical campus in
growing Springwoods Village
area
CHI St. Luke’s Health has purchased
23 acres of land at the corner of the new
Grand Parkway and Holzworth Road in
Springwoods Village.
The medical campus will include an
ambulatory medical center and medical
office building which is expected to be
complete in the late 2015. The facility will
provide emergency services, diagnostic
imaging and outpatient surgery to the
residents and employee population in
Springwoods Village and surrounding
areas.
“Springwoods
Village
exemplifies
sustainable, healthy living – a goal we share
– promoting work-life balance, prevention
and community health,” said Debra Sukin,
President, CHI St. Luke’s The Woodlands

Hospital and Lakeside Hospital. “St.
Luke’s has been providing compassionate
healthcare to Southwest Texas for nearly 60
years, and we have been honored to serve
North Houston for more than a decade. We
are excited to continue our strong legacy
within the region by expanding our clinical
programs, new models of care and costeffective treatment options.”
With an initial investment of $110
million, the new campus will include a
55,000-square-foot ambulatory medical
center and a 100,000-square-foot medical
office building with space for more than
30 physicians. Additionally, CHI St. Luke’s
is committed to investing as much as $70
million over the next five years for future
developments, including a master plan
for future hospital and campus expansion
that will enable the organization to
continue to provide high-quality care with
the continued growth of Springwoods
Village. CHI St. Luke’s has hospitals in
The Woodlands and in The Vintage, a
development east of Springwoods Village.
The new facility will be more convenient
to an estimated 300,000 individuals living
and moving to the area.
“Integrating healthcare facilities into
Springwoods Village is an important part of
creating a complete community,” said Keith
Simon, Executive Vice President, Coventry
Development Corporation. “CHI St. Luke’s
is the perfect health care partner because of
its focus on providing services where people
live, work and play. Springwoods Village
will be home to 50,000 employees and

residents, so it’s important they have access
to excellent health care delivered right in
the community.”
Located 25 miles north of Downtown
Houston, Springwoods Village is an 1,800acre mixed-use community in north Harris
County, and home to the new ExxonMobil
corporate campus and Southwestern
Energy’s
consolidated
headquarters.
Designed for sustainability, Springwoods
Village will serve a population of up to
50,000 employees and residents while
providing diverse housing options and
amenities, such as shopping, dining, schools,
civic facilities and outdoor recreation.
The Springwoods Village facility joins
CHI St. Luke’s Health, which recently
announced a new alliance among CHI St.
Luke’s Health, Baylor College of Medicine®
and Texas Heart® Institute. A significant
expansion of its long-standing educational,
clinical and research affiliations, this new
collaboration provides patient access to the
best physicians, health care services, and
medical technology.
