Wilson Research Foundation Grants
Methodist is a research center, with scientists working side-by-side with clinicians and patients to evaluate the effectiveness of various therapies, test new technologies, and develop innovative, data-driven solutions. The research program has been Foundation's main focus through the years. Occasionally, a major donor will choose to sponsor a specific research study or line of studies, or to meet another need at Methodist such as state-of-the-art therapy equipment, chaplaincy support, etc. With your generous gifts, our Foundation board is able to award grants that make Methodist a center of excellence, improving the quality of care and patient outcomes.
