Supporting Brain & Spine Health in a Growing Community: How Memorial Hermann Sugar Land is Expanding Access to Neuroscience Care
As Fort Bend County continues to grow, so does the need for advanced healthcare services that support a thriving workforce and community. One of the most critical, and often overlooked aspects of long-term wellness is brain and spine health. At Memorial Hermann Sugar Land (MHSL), we’re meeting that need head-on through our collaboration with Mischer Neuroscience Associates, part of the nationally recognized Mischer Neuroscience Institute.
From stroke care and spinal surgery to chronic pain and neurological disorders, our team provides a wide range of services close to home, minimizing the need for travel while improving access to timely, specialized care.
Why This Matters for Business and Community Health
Neurological conditions can impact anyone, often with little warning. Whether it’s a stroke that changes someone’s ability to work, or chronic back pain that affects productivity, these issues take a toll—not just on individuals, but on families, employers, and communities. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to preserving function and improving outcomes.
With Fort Bend’s diverse population and active lifestyle, access to comprehensive neurological care is not just a medical benefit, it’s a strategic investment in community resilience.
Services Offered at MHSL Include:
- Advanced spine care and surgery
- Stroke diagnostics and treatment
- EEG services
- Pain management
- Treatment for conditions like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and movement disorders
One of the driving forces behind our neuroscience program is Dr. Samantha Parker Lane, a specialized-trained neurosurgeon whose passion lies in patient-centered care and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her work helps patients recover faster, with less pain and fewer complications allowing them to return to work, family life, and the activities they enjoy.
Innovation Backed by Compassion
As part of the Memorial Hermann Health System, we’re not just bringing leading-edge treatments to Sugar Land, we’re making sure our care is grounded in compassion and tailored to each patient’s unique goals. Our integrated approach means that patients benefit from collaboration across specialties, including rehab, imaging, and pain management.
A Healthier Workforce Starts with Access
When employers and community leaders invest in partnerships that promote health awareness, prevention, and access to care, the entire region benefits. We’re proud to be part of that effort by expanding specialty services right here in Fort Bend County.
