Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital has been serving the community for over 20 years and is the primary teaching hospital for the pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology programs at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Our team of doctors, nurses, therapists and other allied healthcare professionals are focused on the specialized needs of women and children with an emphasis on quality, customer service and leading-edge research.

A recent facility expansion increased our capacity to 240 beds, making us one of the country’s largest pediatric hospitals. Our Women’s Center operates an additional 68 beds. The facility offers colorful decor, special play areas for children and a reassuring staff, trained to help take the focus off of pain and illness. Education and support services for families are also available, as are services for international patients.

One of 11 hospitals in the Memorial Hermann system, our reach extends throughout the greater Houston area. Patients are able to obtain specialized children’s healthcare or high-risk pregnancy services at Memorial Hermann hospitals in the suburban locations as well as higher level care at our teaching hospital, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, in the Texas Medical Center.
