History

The origins of Houston Northwest began in 1971, when a group of doctors purchased 60 acres off a two-lane, farm-to-market throughway called “Jackrabbit Road” in northwest Harris County. At the time, this area was nothing more than a cow pasture.

But those founding doctors were convinced the area held great potential for growth, and realized there were no medical facilities available for the community nearby. They saw an opportunity to provide the growing area with quality health care that could help meet the needs of the community.

In 1973, Houston Northwest Medical Center officially opened.
