Bay Area Regional Medical Center Announces Development of Integrated Medical Plaza in League City Media Contact: Abbey Lee, MBA [email protected] BARMC.us Bay Area Regional Medical Center (Bay Area Regional) announced today the development of a new 60,000 square foot integrated medical plaza in the vibrant and growing community of League City, Texas. The parcel is approximately 4 acres and located on Town Center Drive near the intersection of I-45 and FM 646.   A portion of the new building will house specialists and primary care physicians that have been acquired by Bay Area Regional and integrated into Texas Gulf Coast Medical Systems, the hospital’s multispecialty and primary care physician group. Since 1996, Texas Gulf Coast has served the Houston Bay Area community and now includes over 40 providers in six convenient locations throughout Webster, Clear Lake and League City.   Recently expanded to 191 total beds, Bay Area Regional offers the area’s premier Women’s Services unit with neonatal intensive care (NICU), which opened in September 2017, and features the area’s most advanced equipment for diagnostics, surgery and emergency care.   Bay Area Regional is the first and only hospital in Houston – and only the fifth in Texas – to achieve the highest level of Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI and Resuscitation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). Bay Area Regional also was the first hospital in the Houston Bay Area to implement the WATCHMAN® device for non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and an advanced cardiac ablation procedure for heart arrhythmia using the Rhythmia Mapping System for high-resolution 3D mapping.   A spokesman for Bay Area Regional said, “The new integrated medical plaza in League City continues Bay Area Regional’s commitment to meeting the needs of families and physicians throughout the Bay Area Houston community with advanced, convenient healing facilities.” Now in design, the integrated medical plaza is scheduled to begin construction in late 2018.
