Your Community Health Partner for 75 Years

In April, Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital celebrated 75 years of service to Baytown and the surrounding communities. Thank you for allowing us to provide care and healing to you and your family. Your partnership helped Houston Methodist Baytown play a pivotal role in writing the history for Houston Methodist as it was the first community hospial and set the stage for our eventual growth into other communities.

Our founders vision was to build you a state-of-the-art hospital with the very best in innovation and modern health care. On April 18, 1948, the doors of our hospital opened, and their vision became a reality. As we emerge from a global pandemic, we continue to honor their vision as one of the country’s top complex care medical centers.

Late last year, we marked a new chapter in our history with the opening of Unity Tower. This new space not only increased our capacity to continue our mission, but it also enhanced our ability to serve the growing demands of Baytown, east Harris, Liberty and Chambers counties. Today, we stand proud and well-positioned to continue providing Leading Medicine for you well into the future.

Leading-edge technology and facilities may define our history, but without a doubt Houston Methodist

Baytown is distinguished by the amazing staff and physicians who provide personalized care to you throughout your life journey. They are truly the heart and soul of our great institution, and it is my honor to lead and work alongside our amazing staff and physicians as we serve those in need.

Our hospital has been an icon in the Baytown community since it was first built on Decker Drive and to this day serves as an integral part of our community — improving quality of life and promoting health and safety to all.

As we draw from the i n fl uences of our long and rich history, we look to the future as we strive to lead medicine in Baytown and the surrounding communities through innovation and unparalleled patient care. I would like to thank you, the members of our community, for your trust and support over these many decades. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.
