BELOVEDCARMEL

Hi ladies, my name is Robin and I'm from Tampa, Fl. Dh and I have decided to relocate to Houston in the fall. Right now we are looking into hosing and jobs. I was wondering if you ladies can recommend  certain areas to live. Right now I'm working in a hospital lab here in Fl. and most likley I would love to find a good hospital to transferd to.Also Dh and I will be looking into getting IVF treatments. By me transfering to a hospital in Houston, does anyone know which hospital carries infertility insurance for IVF. The more I think about the move the more excited I get. Thanks in advance ladies for your help.

Hi Robin! Post on the local Nest board too. I think there was recently a discussion about companies with IVF coverage. Someone should be able to point you to it. They can also help with areas of town. Do you know where he is going to be working? There is a large, concentrated Medical Center, but there are also hospitals all over town. HAR.com is a great resource for real estate. Many also often suggest renting a bit if you plan on buying, that way you can find an area you really like!

Ok thanks I will also post on the local nest board. Dh works in the mental health field. Do you know the name of the medical center that you were talking about?

The Med Center is a big area south of downtown that is full of hospitals and physicians' offices. Off the top of my head, there's Memorial Herman Medical Center, St. Lukes Hospital, Ben Taub Hospital, The Methodist Hospital, Texas Children's, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Women's Hospital, There are probably more, but that is a start! Many of these hospitals also have other branches around town, so if you can get to hiring info from a particular hospital it will probably cover all the locations.

If you go to www.tmc.edu you'll see all the member institutions, and I don't think that actually even covers every hospital in the area. Actually, I know it doesn't -- it just covers the ones that are affiliated teaching centers I think.
