Quick facts
Yes. Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital, on the North Loop, is listed by the Texas Department of State Health Services as a Level III (Advanced) trauma facility. The area’s freestanding emergency rooms are not trauma centers.
HCA Houston ER 24/7 – Heights and The Heights Emergency Room state on their websites that they treat children. Other listings may also see children; we mark pediatric care only where the facility confirms it.
Seek emergency care if you lost consciousness, have a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, unusual sleepiness, weakness or trouble speaking. Older adults and people on blood thinners should be evaluated after any significant head injury.
No. Hospital-operated locations state that they accept most major insurance plans, while The Heights Emergency Room discloses that it is out of network with all health plans and does not accept Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare. Confirm with your plan when you can.
Possibly. For major trauma, EMS crews follow regional protocols that may take a patient directly to a Level I trauma center. A freestanding ER or Level III center may also stabilize a patient and then arrange transfer.
Try 77008, 77009, 77007 or 77018. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Not affiliated with any emergency room. InjuryER is an independent information resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or compensated by the facilities listed, and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Listings are compiled from official facility websites, health-system pages and state agency sources (such as the Texas Department of State Health Services trauma facility list), and each shows its last verification date. Hours, services, insurance participation and ownership can change; call the facility or check its official website before you go when your condition allows. A freestanding emergency room is not a trauma center unless state records say so. Listing order does not indicate quality, speed or wait time. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
