The Memorial Hermann Mischer Neuroscience Institute has been in the news frequently over the past few months, leaving some wondering what is the connection between Mischer Development Company and this world-class medical facility.
As part of their commitment to the community and their support of healthcare and research, in 2005, the Mischer Family invested in the neuroscience program at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. The result was the Mischer Neuroscience Institute (MNI), a comprehensive neurological and neurosurgical program that brings together a team of world-class clinicians, researchers and educators whose insights and research findings are transforming the field of neuroscience. The Institute is built on a foundation of long-term collaboration between Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, and patients come to MNI from around the world for treatment of rare and common diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
Part of the 11-hospital Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, the Mischer Neuroscience Institute is the largest and most comprehensive neuroscience program in Texas. They currently perform more neurosurgical procedures than any other hospital system in Houston and are nationally recognized for leading-edge medicine. MNI is consistently ranked among quality benchmarking organizations as a leader in clinical quality and patient safety. The Institute was the first center in Texas and one of only a few institutions in the country to fully integrate neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology and neurorehabilitation through comprehensive, specialized treatment centers and close collaboration between all involved disciplines.

Mischer Development, known for its successful communities in the Houston market for 65 years, is revolutionizing the way people shop for homes. Cypress Creek Lakes, Mischer’s community in Northwest Houston, is the first to offer Columbus Community Navigator, a web application that provides a better way to search for homes.
Columbus, unlike most table-based systems, displays available properties on a hand-drawn map that sits on top of the Google Maps API. The map can be viewed at a number of different zoom levels, from the entire community at once down to a very small section of lots. This gives home shoppers a bird’s eye view of the community, showing the home’s location in proximity to the community’s lakes, schools and other amenities as well as giving them a feel for the community’s innovative master plan.
Site visitors are finding the system very user-friendly and like the fact that they can sort the home information and pinpoint a specific house on the map based on what is most important to them -- whether it be price, builder, square footage or other criteria. Once a home has been selected on the map, more details can then be displayed, giving the user a complete description as well as a photo gallery of the home. The details screen also provides a contact form to get in touch with the sales person for more information or to schedule a time to view the home.
