Join us at the Marriott Marquis as we honor the exceptional nurses of Houston Methodist with an evening of grace and celebration. The 2026 Nurses Gala, themed “Healing Garden,” invites guests to experience a serene and elegant atmosphere inspired by nature’s renewal and the restorative power of care. Surrounded by beauty and gratitude, we come together to recognize the compassion, dedication, and excellence that allow our nurses—and our community—to flourish.

Fees collected from your registration will go to your hospital’s Nursing Endowment Fund. There will be no refunds, and tickets WILL NOT be sold at the door. Online registration is required to attend this event for you and your guest.

Houston Methodist employees are required to bring their employee badges for check-in at the event. Wristbands will no longer serve as tickets; your badge will be your “ticket” instead.
