Houston Methodist Hospital is located in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. Houston is a diverse, multicultural city, with more than 145 languages spoken within the city. This is due in part to the city’s status as a hub for a wide array of international businesses, ranging from engineering and health care to energy and aerospace.
