Nutex Health Inc. has reopened its Bayou City ER & Hospital, a 40,000‑square‑foot micro‑hospital located at 19211 McKay Dr. in Humble, Texas. The facility now houses eight emergency‑room beds and 46 inpatient beds, and it is equipped with a full‑service laboratory and advanced imaging technology, including CT, X‑ray, and ultrasound.
The reopening marks the company’s largest single opening to date and expands its footprint to 26 facilities across 12 states. CEO Tom Vo emphasized that the new site will serve the growing Northeast Houston community and provide specialized services—particularly behavioral health and medical detox—that traditional hospital systems have struggled to deliver efficiently. "We are filling a critical gap in the market by offering high‑quality, accessible care for patients with complex needs," Vo said.
Nutex’s recent financial results underscore the strategic value of this expansion. In the third quarter of 2025, the company reported revenue of $267.8 million, a 240% year‑over‑year increase, and a net income of $55.4 million, a turnaround from a $8.8 million loss in the same quarter a year earlier. The new micro‑hospital is expected to contribute to continued revenue growth by capturing demand for urgent and behavioral‑health services in a high‑growth region.
The company’s business model also relies on the No Surprises Act’s Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process. Nutex has successfully leveraged IDR to recover payments from insurers, driving revenue growth, but the strategy has attracted regulatory scrutiny and a shareholder derivative lawsuit. "Our focus remains on delivering value to patients while navigating the evolving regulatory landscape," Vo added.
Laura Rodriguez, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Nursing Officer of Bayou City ER & Hospital, highlighted the community impact: "With opening day finally here, the excitement surrounding Bayou City ER and Hospital is difficult to put into words. The facility stands as a state‑of‑the‑art building ready to serve the community with compassionate care and advanced medical services from day one."
The expansion positions Nutex to capitalize on growing demand for behavioral‑health and medical‑detox services, while the micro‑hospital model reduces overhead and improves operational efficiency. However, the company must manage headwinds such as rising labor costs and ongoing regulatory scrutiny of its IDR strategy. Overall, the reopening strengthens Nutex’s competitive position in a high‑growth market and supports its broader growth trajectory.
