the first hospital in Katy to receive this certification.
“Memorial Hermann Katy demonstrated that its stroke care program follows national
standards and guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke
patients,
” said Jean E. Range, M.S., R.N., C.P.H.Q., executive director, Disease-Specific Care Certification,
Joint Commission.
“We’re proud to achieve the distinction,” said Scott Barbe, Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital CEO. “Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center Certification recognizes our commitment

The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has expanded its Katy location to better serve more patients living in west
Houston and surrounding communities.
Originally established in 2007 as a M. D. Anderson radiation treatment center,
the Katy facility has added on-site services, staff and square footage to
accommodate the new practice.
With the arrival of the two M. D. Anderson medical oncologists who see patients
full time in the Katy location only, the center offers outpatient chemotherapy,
laboratory and pharmacy services as well as nutrition and social work
counseling.
In addition to the two physicians, 10 additional M. D. Anderson employees
including nurses, laboratory technicians, phlebotomists, pharmacists and
business specialists will staff the new practice. Sixteen semi-private
chemotherapy treatment rooms are available for on-site infusion.

The M. D. Anderson Clinical Care Center in Katy is located on the campus of
CHRISTUS St. Catherine Hospital at 19770 Kingsland Blvd. M. D. Anderson and
CHRISTUS St. Catherine continue their clinical collaboration just as they have

“M. D. Anderson has experienced a great deal of growth in the last decade, and we
are pleased that our community facilities have been a part of that growth in
recent years,
” said Thomas W. Burke, M.D., executive vice president and physician-in-chief for
M. D. Anderson.
“It’s our mission to extend our reach well beyond the Texas Medical Center, and
knowing that we are moving our care, people, technologies, services and
