Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital highlights its heart for service at the ‘Love Your Neighbor’ Gala
Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital was honored to be named a 2026 Hometown Hero by Interfaith of The Woodlands – an award that reflects nearly a decade of the hospital leading medicine in North Houston. The hospital joined fellow honorees at the ‘Love Your Neighbor’ Celebration of Excellence Gala to celebrate The Woodlands’ spirit of neighbors helping neighbors.
Each year, the gala honors those dedicated to making an impact within the community – and this year’s celebration was an extra-special moment for Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital, reminding the community of its commitment to providing unparalleled care. Since opening its doors in 2017, the hospital has cared for more than two million patients, earned a five-star CMS rating, Magnet® designation for nursing excellence and national recognition from U.S. News & World Report and Vizient as one of the top hospitals in Texas and the nation.
But the hospital’s greatest show of “love thy neighbor” extends beyond clinical excellence. Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital has invested more than $750 million in charity care and community benefits across Montgomery County, demonstrating a deep commitment to improving the health and well-being of all residents. This includes support of the Interfaith Community Clinic, helping ensure that underserved patients receive the compassionate care they deserve.
With a focus on workforce development, environmental responsibility and cultural engagement, Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital is also one of the region’s largest employers and has been recognized by Forbes and Glassdoor as one of America’s best places to work.
“It is an incredible honor for Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital to be named a 2026 Hometown Hero by Interfaith of The Woodlands,” David Bernard, CEO of Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital and senior vice president of Houston Methodist said. “This recognition belongs to every member of our team for going above and beyond to serve our patients and our community with integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and excellence. We are proud to stand alongside Interfaith and so many others who are making a meaningful difference in Montgomery County.”
