Methodist Hospital

The Methodist Hospital corporation is a nonprofit health care organization based in Houston, Texas. It has extended the world-renowned clinical and service excellence of its founding entity, The Methodist Hospital (TMH), through a network of community based hospitals and an acclaimed home health care agency.

Affiliated with the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, The Methodist Hospital corporation works closely with local church leaders to bring compassion and spirituality to all of its endeavors and to help meet the health needs of the community it serves.
