A proposed micro hospital behind H-E-B in Lake Jackson is moving forward, with recent updates to its site plan. The Planning Commission confirmed that the only change since last month is the addition of a fire lane, which has been incorporated into the overall design for better visibility.

The fire lane will navigate around the building, ensuring safety and accessibility. The design team was present at the meeting to address any questions from the commission members.

This micro hospital is set to operate as a no-insurance emergency room, a significant development for the community. The concept aims to provide immediate medical care without the burden of insurance requirements, potentially improving access to healthcare for residents.

As discussions continue, the Planning Commission is focused on ensuring that the project meets all safety and operational standards. The next steps will involve further evaluations and public hearings to finalize the plans for this essential healthcare facility.
