A Century of Breakthrough Moments

One hundred years ago, there was no such thing as the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System. There was simply an idea – that everyone should have access to the best possible medical care.

Over the years, thousands of dedicated men and women have brought that idea to life. Building one new hospital at a time. Adding one comforting smile at a time. One emergency surgery at a time. One fast-thinking Life Flight® paramedic at a time. One rehabilitated knee at a time. One life-saving radiation therapy treatment a time.

When you put them all together, these individual breakthrough moments are the reason Memorial Hermann has grown to become one of the most trusted and respected not-for-profit healthcare systems in the United States.

We invite you to take a journey with us through a century of achievements and learn how Memorial Hermann believed in breakthroughs.
