Chief of Staff, LBJ General Hospital

Welcome to LBJ General Hospital, a major teaching affiliate
of the University of Texas Houston
Medical School. LBJ Hospital is part of the Harris
County Hospital District (HCHD). We are located in the northeast
section of the city, just 15 minutes from the Texas
Medical School and our parent institution, The
University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston.
LBJ is a full service community hospital of 330 beds. The majority
of our patients come from the working class neighborhood that surrounds
our location. All of our medical
school residency programs rotate through the LBJ facilities and
in addition we serve as a base for our own OB-Gyn and transitional
year graduate medical education programs. As such, our facility
is staffed by dedicated professionals interested in advancing healthcare.
"LBJ" is a popular choice for medical school electives.
We are proud of our part in the "UT
System", but we are equally proud of the unique opportunities,
goals, and accomplishments that LBJ continues to have in our community,
medical education, research, and healthcare.
"Browse" through our site or follow a "link" to a specific place of
interest, there is much to learn. If you don't see it, ask! Our directory
should help you find people who can answer your questions.
