New Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza Brings the Latest in Outpatient Services to Cy-Fair

Houston, Texas, August 30, 2006 – The new Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza at Cy-Fair brings state-of-the-art diagnostic technology and outpatient services to the community. This conveniently located facility is designed to maximize patient comfort and minimize stress by delivering outstanding service in a soothing environment.

“By combining the latest healthcare advances, the very best customer service and a calming atmosphere, we hope to provide a different kind of experience for our patients,” said facility director Nicole Hammond.

The 80,000-sq.-ft. Medical Plaza at Highway 290 and FM 1960 (13114 FM 1960 West) features a Memorial Hermann Imaging Center. The facility offers a full range of imaging technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), X-ray with fluoroscopy and ultrasound with vascular imaging capabilities.

Also available will be new digital mammography technology, which a recent study found to be more effective than traditional mammography at detecting cancer in young women or those with dense breast tissue.

In addition, an outpatient laboratory provides on-site service for physicians and patients in the new Medical Plaza.

"This new imaging center offers convenience for both patients and physicians," said James Polfreman, head of imaging services for the Memorial Hermann system. "Patients will benefit from the availability of advanced diagnostic services near where they live and work, and physicians receive reports and images within 10 hours after the exam. We also contract with most health insurance companies in the area. This new facility is part of our plan to open full-service imaging centers in locations throughout Houston."
