Nutex Health Inc. (NASDAQ: NUTX) has announced the reopening of Bayou City ER & Hospital, a 40,000-square-foot facility located in Humble, Texas, northeast of Houston. The hospital features eight emergency room beds, 46 inpatient beds, a full-service laboratory, and advanced imaging capabilities including CT, X-ray, and ultrasound.
