Memorial Hermann News & Updates
Highrise Tower replied to houstonsemipro's topic in Texas Medical Center
Texas Surgeon Is Accused of Secretly Denying Liver Transplants April 11, 2024 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/organ-transplants-houston.html A Houston hospital is investigating whether a doctor altered a transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new organs. For decades, Dr. J. Steve Bynon Jr., a transplant surgeon in Texas, gained accolades and national prominence for his work, including by helping to enforce professional standards in the country’s sprawling organ transplant system. But officials are now investigating allegations that Dr. Bynon was secretly manipulating a government database to make some of his own patients ineligible to receive new livers, potentially depriving them of lifesaving care. Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, where Dr. Bynon oversaw both the liver and kidney transplant programs, abruptly shut down those programs in the past week while looking into the allegations.- 2 replies

In 1917, Ross Sterling was building a mansion in Montrose located at 4410 Rossmoyne Street (later Yoakum Boulevard.) Mike and Ima Hogg needed a place to live while their Bayou Bend estate was being built. Ross Sterling leased the property to the Hoggs for a few years. When Mike Hogg left the property for Bayou Bend, another oilman moved in. Walter Benona Sharp. In 1902, Sharp, Ed Prather, and Howard Hughes Sr., founded the Moonshine Oil Company. University of Saint Thomas owned the property for decades up until demolition. The building had numerous names, including Second Women's Residence, and Spiritual Hall. Photos of the old mansion. Sadly was demolished for a few 3-story luxury town homes.

Does any of the HAIF Historians have a photo of the old Henry MacGregor house located in 3530 Fannin Street? The home was built in the 1920s. All I could find on Google Earth from 1944. I'd love to see an actual picture if anyone comes across it.

I'm late to the (knowledge) but Brennan's Houston was initially The Junior League of Houston's building. https://www.jlh.org/about/our-history/ 1920s Establishment of a well-baby clinic was adopted as the League’s first project when young League members, many of them mothers, recognized the lack of services available for disadvantaged children. Subsequently, the League has developed relationships with major medical resources. One thing that stands out is the address change. The original 1920s building was located at 500 Stuart Street. Brennan's is located at 3300 Smith Street. Photo of the building back in the 1920s. Edit: The rear. You can see JL's logo in the metal fencing work.

During the 1950s, mental health treatment and science really started gaining traction in Houston. One of the initial companies researching was The Mental Health Association of Houston and Harris County. Located in a 2-story house in Montrose at 916 Branard Street. This hospital isn't not very well known so I'm glad I am sharing with HAIF. Very cool history here. Edit: This was lead by Mrs. Viola Perkins, Executive Director.

This week, I found a historical picture of the first building on the campus! You can see the dirt/gravel around the building. Forward 80 years, and the campus has a plethora of buildings. Really amazing the expansion that has occurred here. The organization started in 1945 by the Sisters of St. Dominic of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart.
