Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center

About Our Hospital

Founded in 1925, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center was the first hospital to open in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. For nearly a century, the hospital has set new standards of care in Texas and the nation through advances in the practice of medicine.

As the primary teaching hospital for the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Memorial Hermann provides exceptional care in heart, neuroscience, orthopedics, women's health, general surgery and organ transplantation.

As one of only two certified Level 1 trauma centers in the greater Houston area, the hospital provides 24-hour emergency and trauma care to more than 40,000 patients a year. Memorial Hermann Life Flight air ambulance service operates a fleet of three helicopters, providing emergency rescue and air transport services to a multi-county area.

The planned Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Texas Medical Center, a 165,000-square-foot facility will offer the latest innovations in cardiology programs and treatment.

The new Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza, a 30-story medical office building, will support the Institute and other services with additional physician office space, an Ambulatory Care Center and two floors dedicated to retail shops, services and restaurants.

Memorial Hermann-TMC also offers wireless Internet access in the Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza, with plans to add it throughout the hospital in early 2008.
