Memorial Hermann The Woodlands HospitalFor 25 years, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital has provided high quality, patient- and family-centered care. The 252-bed hospital continues

to grow and features a robust Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation program. The program includes orthopedics, physical, occupational and speech therapy, the Athletic Republic™ sports performance enhancement program, and sports massage. Additionally, Memorial Hermann 24-hour Emergency Care, an extension of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands, provides emergency care, imaging and lab services in a convenient neighborhood location at 9950 Woodlands Parkway, just before FM 2978, across from Walmart. TIRR Memorial Hermann and Children’s Memorial Hermann hospitals provide superior affi liated care for those special care needs.

Over the years, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands’ community involvement has included its fi rst aid sponsorship of events such as the CB&I TRI The Woodlands, Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas, Spring Fever 5K, Muddy Trails Bash 5K/10K, and now, in 2011, Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas. While these events are fun, there is always a chance for an accident or injury. As a result of these sponsorships, the hospital has become much more experienced and is dedicated to ensuring the safety of event participants, volunteers and spectators. Increased collaboration with the Montgomery County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, The Woodlands Fire Department and EMS have enhanced Memorial Hermann’s medical expertise.
