Memorial Hermann partnered with consumer-centric care platform Go Health to open the first Sugar Land GoHealth Urgent Care clinic this October. Located across from the Sugar Land Town Center, it's the 23rd location of the urgent care to open in Greater Houston since July 2022, according to an Oct. 2 news release.

The new clinic will offer services for non-life-threatening conditions, on-site X-ray services, COVID-19 testing and flu vaccines to patients ages six months and older. It's meant to provide residents a more affordable options outside of high-cost settings such as emergency rooms, per the release.
