Medical Transportation in Houston, TX
Houston is the medical capital of America — and that is not hyperbole. The Texas Medical Center, located in southwest Houston, is the largest medical complex in the world. It includes over 60 institutions and sees more than 10 million patient visits per year. MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann, Baylor St. Luke's, and Texas Children's Hospital are just the headliners.
For patients traveling to TMC from across Texas, the nation, and the world, reliable medical transportation is essential. Crown Care NEMT provides private pay medical rides throughout Greater Houston and to the Texas Medical Center from anywhere in the country.

TMC spans 2.1 square miles and includes:
- MD Anderson Cancer Center — #1 ranked cancer center in the U.S.

- Memorial Hermann-TMC — Level I trauma center
- Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center
- Texas Children's Hospital — largest children's hospital in the U.S.

MD Anderson Cancer Center Transportation
MD Anderson patients face unique challenges. Treatment schedules are intense — daily radiation, weekly chemo, frequent imaging and lab work. Many patients travel from out of state and stay in nearby hotels or patient housing (the Rotary House, Jesse H. Jones Rotary House). Crown Care provides:
- Daily treatment rides from hotel to MD Anderson and back
- Airport pickup at IAH or Hobby for inbound patients
- Long-distance transport from anywhere in Texas or beyond
- Wheelchair and stretcher transport for patients with mobility limitations

Managing Houston Traffic
Houston's traffic is legendary. The 610 Loop, I-10, I-45, and US-59 can add significant time to any trip. Crown Care drivers plan routes carefully, use real-time traffic data, and depart with enough buffer to ensure on-time arrivals at TMC and other medical facilities.
