Houston Methodist Cancer Center
Houston Methodist Hospital is the flagship hospital of Houston Methodist academic medical center. Founded in 1919 as an outreach ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the hospital is located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The hospital is part of Houston Methodist, which comprises eight hospitals, an academic institute, a primary care group, and more than 300 locations throughout greater Houston.
The hospital has consistently ranked as “One of America’s Best Hospitals” according to U.S. News & World Report and has earned worldwide recognition in multiple specialties including cardiovascular surgery, cancer, epilepsy treatment and organ transplantation. In 2013, the Houston Methodist System changed its official name to Houston Methodist.
The hospital originally opened in a 300-bed facility near downtown Houston, but it was moved to the Texas Medical Center in 1951 with the help of a $1 million donation from Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen. The hospital has also partnered with the University of Houston and Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University to jointly found the Institute for Biomedical Imaging Science, which aims to create interdisciplinary programs in biomedical imaging and develop joint training programs for scientists.
In 2019 Houston Methodist will launch the EnMed program in partnership with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, which is an innovative Engineering Medicine program designed to educate a new type of physician who will create transformational technology for healthcare.
