Conditions & Treatment
Born from a long-term collaboration between Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, the Mischer Neuroscience Institute is south Texas’ largest neuroscience care provider and one of only a few institutions in the country to fully integrate neurology, neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation to treat patients with a variety of neurological disorders.
This comprehensive approach has resulted in Houston’s only dedicated on-site stroke team, the leading epilepsy program in the southwestern United States, and countless innovations in multiple sclerosis, neurotrauma, spine surgery, brain tumors and more.We extend our continuum of care through inpatient and outpatient neurorehabiliation in our 23-bed rehabilitation unit at Memorial Hermann-TMC, as well as at TIRR Memorial Hermann, a top-tier rehabilitation hospital.
The Mischer Neuroscience Institute at Memorial Hermann-TMC, in collaboration with Memorial Hermann’s ten other hospitals, provides patients access to the most integrated and comprehensive network of neuroscience treatments in the region.
