'''Memorial Hermann Health System''' is the largest not-for-profit health system in southeast Texas<ref name="About us">{{cite web|url=http://www.memorialhermann.org/about-us/ |title=About Memorial Hermann |website=Memorialhermann.org |access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> and consists of 17 hospitals, 8 Cancer Centers, 3 Heart & Vascular Institutes, and 27 sports medicine and rehabilitation centers, in addition to other outpatient and rehabilitation centers.<ref name="Homepage">{{cite web|url=http://www.memorialhermann.org/ |title=Houston Hospitals, Institutes & Centers |publisher=Memorial Hermann |access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> It was formed in the late 1900s when the Memorial and Hermann systems joined.  Both the Memorial and Hermann health care systems started in the early 1900s. The administration is housed in the new Memorial Hermann Tower, along with the existing System Services Tower (formerly called the North Tower), of the [[Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center]].

[[Memorial Hermann–Texas Medical Center]] (formerly known as Hermann Hospital before the 1997 merger with Memorial Health Care System) was opened in 1925. It was the first of two [[hospitals]] with a [[Level I trauma center]] rating to be located in [[Houston]], inside the [[Texas Medical Center]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.memorialhermann.org/specialtyservices/emergencyservices/content.aspx?id=3552 |title=Services and Programs &#124; Texas Trauma Institute at Memorial Hermann |website=Memorialhermann.org |access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> It (with [[Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital]]) is the flagship of a large system of hospitals and clinics located in and around the greater Houston area, in various neighborhoods as well as some [[suburbs]]. The different hospitals are distinguished by further designation indicating their location. (Texas Medical Center, Northwest, Southwest, Woodlands, etc.) The hospital system has been headed by some of the most influential leaders in healthcare including Dan Wolterman,<ref name="ModernHealthcare">{{cite web|url=http://www.modernhealthcare.com/community/100-most-influential/2015/3319780/dan-wolterman/ |title=The leader in healthcare business news, research & data |website=Modernhealthcare.com |access-date=2016-11-29}}</ref> Dr. Benjamin K.
