    Feel Better

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

    CultureMap Create
    Mar 31, 2023 | 12:00 pm

    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.

    Game-changing leader of Houston Parks Board to retire after 10 years

    It's the end of an era at the Houston Parks Board (HPB). CEO Beth White announced Wednesday, May 21 that she will be retiring on January 1, 2026.

    "As I reflect on my career, one of the most rewarding decisions I have made was coming to Houston," White said in a statement. "The entrepreneurial drive in this city is very powerful, our public-private partnership model is second to none, and the creativity at play is a model for the nation."

    White began her stewardship of the HPB in 2016. Before coming to Houston, she oversaw Chicago's Trust for Public Land, guiding the development of the city's famous elevated trailway, the 606. Her experience made her perfect to lead the HPB as Houston dedicated itself to a radical improvement of its park spaces. With HPB responsible for 3,300 acres across 250 parks, as well as coordinating access to another 14,000 acres, it was an executive position for an area physically larger than many cities.

    White proved herself a competent and visionary general of Houston's greenspaces. During her time, she led the revitalization of 30 Houston parks, mostly in marginalized and underserved communities. Her work netted her an appointment to the chair of the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) by former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2021, where she helped federal agencies make long-term plans about public space usage.

    Perhaps her greatest accomplishment as CEO of HPB is the Bayou Greenway project, a bold re-imagining of Houston's waterways. The project has built 150 miles worth of trails that hug the various bayous and creeks meandering through Houston, turning what were often foot traffic barriers into an artery system of green trails connecting various park spaces across the city. Isolated pockets of community space are now linked through easy to use trail systems, making foot traffic across Houston simpler and more beautiful to experience.

    “It is very gratifying to see that Houstonians are embracing parks and greenspace as an essential part of the region’s infrastructure. I am proud to have played a part in Houston’s green renaissance and look forward to continued progress thanks to the talented and dedicated staff and board at Houston Parks Board,” said White.

    Cory King, president and CEO, and Ben Feit, principal, at Kittleman and Associates, are leading the search for suitable candidates to fill White's very big shoes. In the meantime, White will continue to lead the organization for the rest of the year.

    "Houston Parks Board would not be in the position it is today without the guidance and leadership of Beth White. As we commemorate her throughout this year, we are grateful that Beth’s vision has helped transform our organization into a regional and national leader for parks and greenspace,” said Houston Parks Board chair Cullen Geiselman Muse. “We are also excited to begin the search for her successor. Houston is a unique region that offers different opportunities to maximize available space and create multi-purpose greenspaces that make real, lasting impacts on our communities. We look forward to sharing more information as the search progresses."
