History edit
The hospital was chartered in 1955 and was the first hospital to open in the South Texas Medical Center.[1] The hospital focuses on cardiology, oncology, emergency medicine, bone and marrow stem cell transplant, neurosciences, women's health and orthopedics. The hospital has a certified Comprehensive Stroke Center.
The hospital is known for its neurology and neurosurgical care and has performed more back and neck surgeries than any other hospitals in Texas.[1][4] In 2013, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the University of Texas Health Science Center's pediatrics program and Methodist Hospital. Negotiations were unable to close and the deal collapsed at the end of spring in 2014.[5]
