About Us
St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital
St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital, an extension of the St. Luke's Health System, was built in 2003 to offer the local community family-centered care in a healing environment. Located on a beautiful 62-acre campus in The Woodlands, patients and visitors appreciate our one-of-a-kind clinical atmosphere with soothing colors, warm textures, and gentle architectural lines that provide a healing environment for the body, mind, and spirit.
Our 242 private-bed, nonprofit hospital offers a full range of family health care, from pediatrics to geriatrics, from emergency services to birthing centers, and from diagnostics to surgery.
We understand the importance of each patient's support system and the desire to receive excellent health care in the community. This is why we believe that in order to provide the best care for our patients, we must care for the whole family. With the exception of the intensive care units, St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital has a comfortable lounge for family members and visitors to relax in on each floor. In addition, all of our patient rooms are private and contain full-size sofas so that a family member may stay overnight by the bedside.
St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital is the only hospital in the area to partner with other Texas Medical Center organizations ranked in the top 10 of their specialties by U.S.News & World Report. Texas Children's Hospital manages the hospital's pediatric care, Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center offers radiation oncology services, and our collaboration with the Texas Heart Institute provides superior heart care for the community.

Our Programs
St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital has 242 private beds, including 30 state-of-the-art intensive care unit beds and two patient rooms that offer guest suites with hotel-level amenities to accommodate extra visitors while maintaining patient privacy. The hospital has incorporated telemetry into every medical and surgical room which allows hospital staff to electronically monitor patients. The hospital has the ability to ultimately have a total capacity of 250 beds. The surgical unit includes eight operating rooms.
Heart Program
The Heart and Vascular Institute at St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital provides the community with a comprehensive Heart Program that includes diagnosis, treatment, and interventional cardiology and cardiovascular surgery.

Surgery Center
Here at our surgical center, we offer inpatient and same-day surgery for a wide range of surgical procedures including cardiovascular, neurosurgery, orthopedic, spine, oncology, urologic, and general surgery.
Once physicians book a surgery, the patient will be called by hospital staff to schedule pre-op testing such as lab work, X-rays, EKG, and will learn what to expect before and during surgery, and through post-op recovery. Patients can register for surgery and complete testing in the Diagnostic Testing area located on the first floor.
At St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital, we understand that surgery can be a stressful time for both you and your loved ones. That is why we strive to make your experience as comfortable and informative as possible.
Innovative Surgery
Gamma Knife®
The Gamma Knife® Center offers one of the most technologically advanced means of treating brain disorders. This well-established treatment method, known as stereotactic radiosurgery, delivers high doses of radiation to targeted areas of the brain while minimizing exposure to healthy brain tissue. The treatment is simple, non-invasive, painless, and can be performed in a single session in a matter of hours. St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital is proud to be the first to bring Gamma Knife® technology to the North Houston and Montgomery County communities.
da Vinci® Surgical System
The state-of-the-art robotic da Vinci® Surgical System is revolutionizing surgical procedures by allowing complex operations, from cardiac to gynecological, to now be done with minimal invasiveness. The list of procedures using this system is ever-growing, and St. Luke's Health will continue to be at the forefront of that expansion.
Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive spinal surgery procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, is also offered at St. Luke's Health.
Through these innovative surgical procedures, patients experience a shorter hospital stay and recovery time, as well as fewer post-surgical complications and faster return to normal daily activity. This enhancement in surgical capabilities improves clinical outcomes and emphasizes the hospital's excellence in quality care.

Surgery Center
Here at our surgical center, we offer inpatient and same-day surgery for a wide range of surgical procedures including cardiovascular, neurosurgery, orthopedic, spine, oncology, urologic, and general surgery.
Once physicians book a surgery, the patient will be called by hospital staff to schedule pre-op testing such as lab work, X-rays, EKG, and will learn what to expect before and during surgery, and through post-op recovery. Patients can register for surgery and complete testing in the Diagnostic Testing area located on the first floor.
At St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital, we understand that surgery can be a stressful time for both you and your loved ones. That is why we strive to make your experience as comfortable and informative as possible.
Innovative Surgery
Gamma Knife®
The Gamma Knife® Center offers one of the most technologically advanced means of treating brain disorders. This well-established treatment method, known as stereotactic radiosurgery, delivers high doses of radiation to targeted areas of the brain while minimizing exposure to healthy brain tissue. The treatment is simple, non-invasive, painless, and can be performed in a single session in a matter of hours. St. Luke's Health–The Woodlands Hospital is proud to be the first to bring Gamma Knife® technology to the North Houston and Montgomery County communities.
da Vinci® Surgical System
The state-of-the-art robotic da Vinci® Surgical System is revolutionizing surgical procedures by allowing complex operations, from cardiac to gynecological, to now be done with minimal invasiveness. The list of procedures using this system is ever-growing, and St. Luke's Health will continue to be at the forefront of that expansion.
Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive spinal surgery procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, is also offered at St. Luke's Health.
