Compassion fuels everything we do at Memorial Hermann. It drives our promise to deliver service excellence as we care for you. It propels us in our role as a dedicated community partner focused on improving the health and well-being of all Houstonians.
Memorial Hermann Community Health collaborates with other health care providers along with government agencies, business leaders and community stakeholders to develop and implement initiatives designed to improve the overall quality of life for those living and working in the communities we serve.
Through our programs, our work takes us beyond hospital walls and centers around five areas to help families thrive:
Neighborhood Health Centers serve as medical homes to provide preventive, acute and chronic care for uninsured, working families throughout Greater Houston.
The Community Resource Centers provide one-stop locations where families can get help scheduling health care appointments, receiving health education and learning about social services like SNAP.
Our Exercise Is Medicine program uses exercise to help improve families’ health and well-being. We encourage and track exercise. We also offer exercise prescriptions and partner with local parks to provide more chances for healthy, physical activity like walking and exercise classes.
Memorial Hermann Health Centers for Schools provide medical, mental health, dental, nutritional and exercise services to eligible children and adolescents in more than 100 schools in the Greater Houston area. This initiative also helps kids and teens, along with their parents or guardians, access the health care system.
Patients in Memorial Hermann hospitals and clinics are screened for food insecurity and connected to resources to help them to receive healthy, nutritious food.
This 24-hour telephone hotline answered by Memorial Hermann’s trained nurses was created for residents of Greater Houston who are experiencing a health concern and are unsure of what to do or where to go.
