My hospital for life. Each year Memorial provides more than a quarter of a million patient services. From emergency care and surgical procedures to the treatment of cardiovascular disease and stroke, more patients trust Memorial for their care.*
Memorial was founded in 1949 by local business and industry leaders, and the mission to reinvest 100% of all proceeds into the hospital and community continues today. That philosophy has made Memorial the recognized leader in quality and innovative medicine and the largest health care provider in deep East Texas.
I am proud to have been born at Memorial and I will continue to trust Memorial with all of my family’s health care needs.
