Celebrating both the construction of the new Women’s & Children’s Center and the 40th anniversary of the hospital, Clear Lake Regional Medical Center (CLRMC) held a steel signing ceremony on Tuesday in Webster, Texas. The ceremony was attended by DPR, local dignitaries, trustees and honored CLRMC staff members who have been with the hospital since its opening in 1972 as well as those who have been on staff for 20 or more years.

The new med/surge tower portion of the project, which DPR currently has under construction, will initially have three occupied stories with potential to expand to seven, a new ICU, new operating rooms and recovery rooms. Additionally, DPR is performing a six-phase remodel on the existing, adjacent building, which will become the new Women’s Center. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
