With 14 hospitals, five convenient care centers, more than 24,000 employees and 5,500 medical staff, all within the greater Houston area, Memorial Hermann Health System’s presence in the city is well-rooted. Founded in 1907, Memorial Hermann has become the largest not-for-profit health system in Southeast Texas and is ranked as one of the top five large health care systems in the country by Truven Health based on patient safety and quality.
The system is in the midst of an extensive expansion program, dubbed the “Breaking New Ground” project. It includes five major construction and renovation projects aimed at meeting the health care needs of the new residents Houston has attracted as its economy has been bolstered over the last five to seven years by the bounty of oil and natural gas.
