The Excellence Next Door
Houston Methodist Hospital took its place in the world-famous Texas Medical Center as a founding institution in 1951. As Houston grew, so did the need for premier care across its sprawling population centers. Today, our trusted network of seven acute care hospitals is rooted in community-focused service that spans the fourth-largest city in the nation. Together with a long-term acute care campus, local teams partner to deliver on a daily promise of world-class medicine — driven by science, innovation and an unwavering call to put patients first.
Benefactor support strengthens this network. With over 1,800 beds and more than 9,500 physicians outside the Texas Medical Center, Houston Methodist’s network hospitals rely on donor generosity to extend care options beyond what traditional funding can provide — bringing premier care to every neighborhood.

The John M. O’Quinn Centennial Chair in Concussion Research and Care
Unlike most hospital systems’ concussion centers — which are centralized — ours is a systemwide network of highly skilled specialists that reaches into the communities we serve. We have concussion specialists in each of our network hospitals and nearly all of our outpatient facilities. We’ve also recently integrated concussion therapy into all Houston Methodist physical and occupational therapy programs.
