Your inclusive, impactful and innovative source connecting MWBEs to Harris Health System opportunities.
Harris Health System’s Contractor Diversity Program
recognizes Minority- and Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) as key economic engines and major employers in Harris County and surrounding areas. Harris Health is committed to seeking out, identifying, assisting and using M/WBEs. To this end, Harris Health shall seek mutually beneficial business relationships with diverse businesses, provide equal access to Harris Health’s purchasing opportunities and promote M/WBE inclusion to reflect the business community of Harris County and surrounding areas.Harris Health Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital has a long, rich history in northeast Harris County, providing an oasis of care in this underserved area.
To preserve and expand our impact and to ensure that we meet the future needs of the community, Harris Health is investing in the complete transformation of the LBJ campus.
A recent facility assessment revealed that the 33-year-old hospital is nearing the end of its useful life. Ultimately, the campus plans call for two towers and a parking garage to provide a more comprehensive range of high-level medical, social and mental health care and outpatient services.
Plans for the new campus include:
- More inpatient beds
- Private inpatient beds
- Access to more specialty and critical care services, including heart and stroke care
- Level I trauma capable to include being equipped for a helipad
- Larger operating rooms
- Expanded cancer care
- Expanded psychiatric and behavioral health services
