New Houston Office to Open in 2025

CHICAGO, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Care Service Corporation is advancing its strategy to expand into neighborhoods where it can benefit from the skilled workforce in those communities and drive economic growth. The company has leased a 132,000 sq ft office building in Southwest Houston, Texas and will be creating opportunities to offer jobs in the local community.

"We take a broad view of what it means to be healthy. Our commitment to expanding access to whole person health with compassion and innovation means that we consider the economic impact we make in our communities," said Opella Ernest, M.D., President, HCSC Markets. "As we grow our business, we are making intentional investments to create job opportunities that can benefit local residents and empower them to reinvest in the areas where they live."

The new Houston location is at 8101 W. Sam Houston Parkway South. Buildout is expected to be completed as soon as January 2025.

The new Houston site will be HCSC's latest expansion creating opportunities for individuals and businesses in the communities it serves.
