Celebrating in general is a fun thing to do, especially if it is a parade. Costumes, music, candy, and fantastical floats. The North Cypress Medical Center proudly supports this years inaugural Pink Ribbon Parade. This parade is showcased over sized sculptures of pink ribbons that had been on an tour across Texas aptly named “Tour De Pink”.
This public art event was created to raise awareness of breast cancer. Each sculpture is between 6 to 8 feet tall, painted by an artist and sponsored by a corporation, organization, or private individual. The sale of the sculptures go directly to the Breast Health of Texas and a breast cancer organization of the buyers choice.

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.
