The Kingwood hospital, now known as HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood, is in the midst of a $42 million expansion, The Houston Chronicle reports.
The facility was originally built in 1990 as a mall, but before it was ever occupied, a group of doctors purchased the space and opened a hospital with 149 beds. In 1995, Hospital Corporation of America negotiated a deal with the doctors and bought the fledgling hospital.
