Artist Healthcare Services

Whether the problem is a sprained ankle or a sore throat, Houston Methodist is dedicated to returning artists back to the stage as soon as possible. Our medical professionals are ready to help and will make appointments available to performers within 48 hours. Many of the more than 2,000 professional and amateur artists who live in and around Houston are treated at Houston Methodist every year, and services are also available to the dozens of guest artists performing in the Houston area each season.

At Houston Methodist, we treat artists and their unique needs, while bringing the same level of specialized care to every patient we serve. The Artist Card is available to performers who register with the Center for Performing Arts Medicine by filling out the online application and ensures that members of the performing arts community receive medical care specific to their artistic needs. When an Artist Card-holder visits Houston Methodist, they will be assigned a patient liaison who will notify the appropriate specialist(s) as needed to coordinate treatment.
