ABOUT THE CHRYSALIS AWARDEE

Houston Methodist

This year, Houston Methodist Hospital will receive the Chrysalis Award in recognition of their steadfast commitment to providing compassionate care for mental health.

Houston Methodist has long been one of the few health care institutions in Houston to provide in-patient psychiatric services. The hospital has recognized and promoted the centrality of mental health to overall health, as evidenced by the depth of services provided—emergency care, consultations for acute care patients, mobile assessment teams and more. Now, at a time when most institutions are cutting behavioral health services due to lack of funds, Houston Methodist is expanding.

On January 15, 2018, Houston Methodist Behavioral Health opened its doors. This innovative, integrated psychiatric clinic provides patients with an unparalleled level of advanced evaluation and care. This includes everything from neurocognitive testing, genetic testing, brain imaging, aqua and physical therapies, minimally invasive neuromodulation technologies, and experimental therapeutics.

By continuing to expand and advance behavioral health care, Houston Methodist is a bold leader in the effort to provide the type of compassionate, state-of-the-art care that our community needs and deserves.
