Construction firm Robins & Morton joined Methodist Healthcare System on Aug. 13 to celebrate the groundbreaking of the $104 million vertical expansion and renovation at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak in San Antonio, Texas.
The two-story, 83,948-square-foot expansion will add ICU and Med Tele beds, while also expanding key support areas including central supply, the lab, and parking. As part of the project, the hospital kitchen will undergo a comprehensive renovation.
“This vertical expansion marks a new chapter in our commitment to serving humanity to honor God,” said Michael Beaver, CEO of Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak. “By adding two new floors, we’re not just increasing capacity, but creating more room for healing and hope when families need us most. Our growth will allow us to expand the nationally recognized healthcare services that we provide for families in our community, well into the future.”
The project will add 54 new beds, increasing its total capacity from 245 to 299. This includes the vertical addition of the 5th and 6th floors to the West Tower, with 40 new Med Tele beds on the 5th floor and 14 critical care ICU beds on the 6th. Half of the 6th floor will remain a shell space, allowing flexibility for future growth. With the inclusion of Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak Rehabilitation Center, the hospital’s complete bed count will reach 341.
“We are excited to continue our longstanding partnership with HCA as we begin work on this vertical expansion project of Methodist Hospital Stone Oak in San Antonio,” Robins & Morton Operations Manager David Skipper said. “This project will provide increased access to care for our growing community, and we look forward to seeing its lasting, positive impact.”
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
