MEDICAL CENTER OF THE SOUTH

The epicenter of world-class healthcare—2M square feet of cutting-edge medical facilities, 2,500+ expert physicians, and 5,000+ medical professionals, all within a three-mile radius

The Medical & Healthcare Sector in Webster

A FULL RANGE OF CARE, SERVED DAILY

When life takes an unexpected turn, Webster’s Medical Center is ready with convenient care that meets every level of need. Webster’s secret sauce owes much of its potency to a powerhouse healthcare sector that continues to burgeon—drawing workers, patients, families, and specialists from across the region and delivering world-class care when it’s needed most.

THE WEBSTER ADVANTAGE

Webster delivers care to nearly 1.8 million patients each year from across a region spanning 24 cities south of Houston. Within a three-mile radius in Webster, more than 2,500 physicians and 5,000 medical professionals deliver care across two million square feet of state-of-the-art medical facilities. Webster offers the region’s only combination of Level II Chest Pain Centers, Pediatric Emergency Care, NICU, Level II Trauma Centers, and a dedicated heart hospital—a concentration of specialized care that bolsters the City’s economy and sustains strong demand around the clock, year-round.

Webster strengthens its medical center in many ways, including providing exceptional first-response services. With a dedicated EMS division and the City’s own ambulance service, response times and on-scene care rank among the region’s best. The Fire Department’s ISO Class 1 rating—earned by only about 400 agencies nationwide and just 65 in Texas—helps lower insurance costs and reinforces the medical center, along with the steady flow of people who rely on Webster every day. From workers grabbing coffee before a shift to patients picking up lunch after an appointment and families staying in nearby hotels while supporting loved ones in the hospital, the medical center is a powerful economic engine.

HCA Houston Healthcare Clear Lake delivers a full spectrum of advanced inpatient and specialty services. The hospital is one of Webster’s two Level II Trauma Centers and is moving toward Level I designation— an elite classification achieved by only three hospitals in the Greater Houston region. A major campus

renovation is underway, expanding women’s services, enhancing cancer care, and adding patient rooms— reflecting HCA’s commitment to elevating care in the region and supporting rising patient demand.

Across the street, UTMB Health Clear Lake strengthens Webster’s advanced inpatient and specialty care offerings. As Webster’s other Level II Trauma Center—and a Primary and Comprehensive Stroke Center—UTMB provides capabilities that overlap many Level I functions, along with dedicated pediatric emergency care, neonatal care, and a growing range of inpatient and outpatient services.

Houston Physicians’ Hospital is a premier surgical hospital in Webster, featuring an Orthopedic Center of Excellence, a Spine Solutions Center, a comprehensive Imaging Center, and a 24/7 Emergency Department— all supported by more than 200 physicians. With a 5-star CMS Patient Experience rating—one of only two in Houston—the hospital has a reputation for exceptional patient satisfaction across the region.

CLS Health strengthens the district’s outpatient network with a three-building medical campus on West Medical Center Boulevard and North Kobayashi Road, along with several additional clinics and specialty offices throughout the City. With hundreds of providers offering primary care, same-day services, imaging, lab work, and numerous specialties in Webster, CLS serves as one of the City’s most accessible entry points for patients. A planned surgical center and medical office development on CLS’s newly acquired 10-acre site will expand services even further.

The expansive list of healthcare providers create one of the most concentrated, advanced, and fastgrowing medical hubs in the Southeast Houston region—offering trauma, stroke, surgical, pediatric, outpatient, and specialty care at a scale typically found only in major medical centers. Ongoing investment throughout these hospitals strengthens Webster’s role in regional healthcare and drives significant economic activity across the City.
