Houston Methodist has received a $110 million gift, its largest single commitment in the system’s more than 100-year history.
Four notes:
1. The gift came from The Brockman Medical Research Foundation to support neuroscience, neurological care and women’s health initiatives, according to a June 24 health system news release.
2. The funding will establish a new innovation fund supporting research and care within the Houston Methodist Academic Institute and Neurological Institute, as well as an excellence fund for women’s health initiatives in the department of obstetrics and gynecology.
3. In recognition of the gift, Houston Methodist’s new hospital facility will be named Brockman Centennial Tower, and the tower’s entrance will be named the Anna Margaret Bellows Centennial Hall.
4. Brockman Centennial Tower, a 26-story hospital facility, is scheduled to open in 2027. The facility will add nearly 400 patient beds, include an expanded emergency department and connect directly to the Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Tower at Houston Methodist’s flagship campus in the Texas Medical Center.
