Get IV therapy and more at this modern urgent care center that's helping Houstonians heal

What if an urgent care center felt more like a spa? One that still provides all the necessary medical expertise and treatment, of course, but also offers wellness options like IV therapy, anti-aging technology, and even an innovative approach to treating depression.

That's what Houstonians can experience at NeuMed Modern Urgent Care + IV Therapy, which is currently found in Spring Branch, The Heights, Washington Avenue, and Galleria, and will debut its fifth H-Town location in Montrose this June.

NeuMed is on a mission to create a healthier community by providing prompt medical treatment and intravenous therapy in a fresh and mindful environment. And like all other urgent care centers, it's open extended hours — including weekends and holidays — and never requires an appointment.

Here's what you can expect when you visit NeuMed Modern Urgent Care + IV Therapy:

Urgent care
The walk-in clinics provide a convenient, fast alternative to emergency rooms — and even primary care providers — by treating minor injuries and illnesses such as strep throat, infections, cold and flu symptoms, allergies, rashes, burns, bites, and more.

Services range from physicals and check-ups to X-Rays and stitches, with so much more in between.

Health insurance is accepted, and NeuMed is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare.

NeuMed Urgent Care is also the place for convenient, affordable sports physicals and sports-related injuries.

Receive quick, expert care for back and neck strain, bursitis and tendonitis, finger or toe dislocations, joint sprains and strains, minor closed fractures, and other sports injuries.

Additionally, you can also get such preventative care as annual well exams, lab testing, and vaccinations.

IV therapy
NeuMed has created 11 doctor-formulated infusions to help you feel on top of your game with private zero-gravity infusion suites.

Choose from Neu-Energy (great for jet lag or just getting through a busy week), Neu-Immunity (helpful for both preventing and fighting illness and infections and speeding up recovery), and Neu-Beauty (hydrates for glowing skin and supports strong growth of hair and nails), among others.

Moms-to-be will love Neu-Mother, which eases morning sickness, reduces uterine irritability, and helps supplement baby's growth and development. Athletes, meanwhile can enhance their performance and replenish protein building blocks with Neu-Athlete.

In a rush? Stop in for a Quick Drip (a half liter of fluids with one vitamin enhancer of your choice) or a Neu-Shot for an instant boost. The most popular Neu-Shots include biotin and vitamins D3 and B12.

For a limited time, first-time IV patients can receive $100 off of their first full drip session — so you’re only out of pocket $79.

There's even an IV therapy happy hour from 12-2 pm Monday through Thursday, where you can enjoy a Quick Drip IV (500cc) with a Free Neu-Enhancer of your choice for only $79.

Other treatments
Those seeking the latest in anti-aging technology will find it here with NAD+ therapy as well as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including testosterone pellet therapy.

This spring, you'll also be able to receive ketamine infusion therapy to help treat drug-resistant depression.

The details
NeuMed offers competitively priced and value-packed IV therapy and urgent care memberships. It also posts a full pricing list for all urgent care services at competitive prices, so there's never a surprise medical bill.

You'll want to follow NeuMed (neumed_) on Instagram too, as they consistently post high-value specials.

And perhaps best of all: A portion of your proceeds at NeuMed is donated to help reforest Houston. To date, this has helped replant more than 40,000 square feet of land.

Bike trail connecting EaDo and Third Ward shines with new lights

Solar lamps will light up the Columbia Tap Trail before the FIFA 2026 World Cup, with more to come.

The Columbia Tap Trail is getting safer and brighter. The Greater Southeast Management District and the East Downtown Management District announced on Monday that Phase 1 of their Columbia Tap Trail Comprehensive Improvement Initiative had begun, which will install 50 solar powered lights along the trail before the start of the FIFA 2026 World Cup with more to come later.

"The Columbia Tap Trail is more than a bike path. It is a vital artery connecting communities that have shaped Houston's history," said Brian Smith, board chair of the Greater Southeast Management District. "This project demonstrates what's possible when districts, city officials, and federal partners work together to create safer, more accessible public spaces. This $7.5 million investment isn't just about lighting. It's about building a trail that serves our neighborhoods for generations. With the world's eyes on Houston this summer, we're proud to showcase infrastructure that will serve our community long after the final whistle."

When completed later this fall, Phase 1 will have installed 300 new lights along the 10-foot-wide paved parkway. Further improvements as part of Phase 1 will include emergency call boxes, improved signage, and safety features at the various intersections.

Houston is in the midst of a massive expansion of both its public parks and access to the city through walking and bike paths. The Columbia Tap Trail is a 4-mile trail from Dixie Drive to Emancipation Avenue that serves as an important artery for Third Ward and East Downtown. It follows the path of the old Tap and Brazoria Railway, a vital method of exporting goods from Houston that was largely built by enslaved Black Texans. Naturally, Black communities sprang up around the trail, making it a hub of accessibility for generations to come.

Improving the trail opens up alternative and safer paths than driving to destinations like Hermann Park, the Houston Zoo, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science thanks to links to the Brays Bayou Hike and Bike Trail at the southern end, as well as numerous schools, neighborhoods, and small businesses. Along with the Hill at Sims and the larger Bayou Greenway Network, Houston greenspaces and parks are becoming thoroughfares. Houston Council Member Dr. Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, who frequently uses the trails, applauded the city's commitment to improving and revitalizing the trail system.

"The Columbia Tap Trail has long been a priority for our office because it directly impacts public safety, mobility, and quality of life for the neighborhoods it connects," she said. "As someone who lives in the District of Destination and personally uses this trail, I understand firsthand how important these improvements are to the residents, students, workers, families, and visitors who rely on this corridor. Nearly two years ago, we brought this need to Mayor John Whitmire, and I am grateful that he recognized the importance of this historic trail and worked with us to move these improvements forward."
