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.

A $100 prize was awarded to the Fort Bend Seniors by the Meals on Wheels Association of America/Subaru “Share the Love” grant program.

Fort Bend children have been truly surprised by the recent gifts given to them by CH2m Hill Engineers and Sugar Land Council Member Jacqueline Baly Chaumette! The two groups donated twenty five bicycles this Christmas to the Fort Bend Community Partners Rainbow Room.
Council Woman Chaumette contacted the Rainbow Room and helped distribute the bikes. She explained that they wanted to do something that would make a lasting difference to Fort Bend children in crisis this holiday season.
The Rainbow Room relies on the generosity of community businesses and residents and gifts like these bikes make the work that they do rewarding. As a charitable organization dedicated to helping families and children in crisis, the Rainbow Room is a resource room that is stocked with diapers, school supplies, snacks, clothes, toiletries, toys and other items needed to meet the needs of families in crisis.
