Kingwood Medical Center, on U.S. 59 south of Kingwood Drive, is beginning a $25.5 million expansion that will add two floors, 56 new private beds and an estimated 225 new jobs.

These Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital employees were honored as five of the hospital’s most patient-pleasing employees. From left are Danielle Romero; Susie Alters, R.N.; Alicia Andrews, R.N.; Alice Andrews, R.N.; and Michelle Eby, R.N. The Northeast campus recently held a reception for 121 employees who received three or more patient compliments in December.

Some tasty suggestions minus the turkey, ham and prime rib.

You’ll have to be quick if you want to see the dazzling forest of specially decorated Christmas trees at the Kingwood Medical Center.
