A Guide to Care at the Mays Clinic
This page is campus notes for the Mays Clinic. It is not housing. Confirm your appointment building first. The Mays Clinic is an outpatient building in the Texas Medical Center, with services such as the Breast Center, diagnostic imaging, and radiation oncology.
Luxurway also rents furnished homes near the Texas Medical Center if you need somewhere to stay.
However, the sheer size of the Texas Medical Center can be overwhelming. From finding the correct parking garage to securing a comfortable place to stay for weeks or months, the logistics can add unnecessary stress to your treatment.
At Luxurway, we specialize in providing private, fully furnished homes for MD Anderson patients. We understand that after a long day of appointments, you need more than a hotel room, you need a home. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Mays Clinic, ensuring your focus remains where it belongs: on your health and recovery.

What is the Mays Clinic?
The Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic, opened in 2006, is a separate building from the Main Building (Alkek Hospital), though they are connected via a skybridge system. It was designed specifically to separate outpatient services from inpatient hospital activities, creating a more streamlined and less clinical environment for patients coming in for daily treatments or consultations.
Architecture Designed for Healing
The Mays Clinic is known for its "Tree Sculpture" in the lobby and ample natural light. The design philosophy was to create a calming atmosphere that reduces the "hospital feel." You will find:
-
The Tree of Life: A massive sculpture in the atrium that serves as a common meeting point.
-
Compassionate Amenities: The site includes a café, a pharmacy, and the "Place.. of wellness" which offers complementary therapies like yoga and massage for patients.
How it Differs from the Main Building
-
Main Building (1515 Holcombe): Primarily for surgeries, inpatient stays (overnight), and emergency care.
-
Mays Clinic (1220 Holcombe): Primarily for diagnostics (CT/MRI), chemotherapy infusions, radiation therapy, and clinic appointments.

Key Departments and Services
The Mays Clinic houses several critical centers. Knowing which building your appointment is in is vital, as walking from the Main Building to the Mays Clinic can take 15–20 minutes for those with limited mobility.
1. The Nellie B. Connally Breast Center
One of the largest centers within the Mays Clinic, this department offers multidisciplinary care for breast cancer patients. It allows patients to see surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists often in a single visit, reducing the need for multiple trips.
2. Diagnostic Imaging Center
If your schedule says "DI" or "Imaging," you will likely be here. This center is equipped with state-of-the-art MRI, CT, and PET scan machines.
- Tip: Imaging appointments can run long. Bring a sweater (it is often cold) and a book or tablet.
3. Radiation Oncology
Located on the lower levels, this department uses advanced linear accelerators for precision radiation therapy. Because radiation treatments often require daily visits for 4–6 weeks, convenience and parking become major factors in your daily routine.
4. Cancer Prevention Center
Focused on screening and early detection, this center is for individuals who may have a high genetic risk or need preventive check-ups.
Navigating the Mays Clinic: Parking & Valet
Parking in the Texas Medical Center is notorious for being confusing. The Mays Clinic has its own dedicated parking infrastructure, which is distinct from the Main Building’s "Garage 10."
Self-Parking: The Mays Clinic Garage
- Entrance: MD Anderson’s entrance guide lists Entrance 5 for Mays Clinic self-parking. Use the hospital’s current directions for your appointment building.
- Hours and cost: The Mays Clinic/Duncan Building garage is open 24 hours. Published charges are $3 for up to one hour through $13 for up to 24 hours.
Valet Parking
| Drop-off: | The entrance guide lists Entrance 7 for patient drop-off. Follow current hospital signs and instructions for valet service. |
|---|---|
| Hours and cost: | Mays Clinic valet operates Monday through Friday, 5 a.m.–11 p.m. with a published $20 flat fee. |
| Longer stays: | Ask the parking office about current options for repeated visits. |
These details were checked September 7, 2026 against MD Anderson’s parking page and entrance guide. Recheck hours, charges, and directions before traveling.

Preparing for Your First Visit
Your first appointment at the Mays Clinic will likely be a consultation or a diagnostic day. To ensure it runs smoothly, preparation is key.
What to Bring Checklist
| Medical Records: | Physical copies of discs/scans if they haven't been digitally transferred yet. |
|---|---|
| Medication List: | A printed list of all current dosages. |
| Comfort Items: | The clinic is kept cool to protect equipment. Bring a warm blanket or hoodie. |
| Snacks/Water: | While there are cafes (like the bistro on Floor 2), appointments can run late, and having water on hand is essential. |
| Notebook: | You will receive a lot of information. Write down questions before you enter the room. |
The "MyChart" App
MD Anderson uses MyChart for all schedules and test results. Download this app before you arrive. It frequently updates with "Wayfinding" maps that can guide you turn-by-turn inside the building.

Where to Stay: Housing Options Near Mays Clinic
If your treatment at the Mays Clinic involves daily radiation or regular chemotherapy, you may be in Houston for several weeks or months. Choosing the right accommodation is just as important as choosing the right doctor.
While directories like Joe’s House list various hotels and discounted motels, many patients find that extended stays in hotels lack the privacy, space, and sanitation required for immunocompromised individuals.
Why Luxurway is the Preferred Choice for Mays Clinic Patients
Luxurway offers private, fully furnished single-family homes and spacious apartments specifically curated for medical patients. Here is how we compare to standard hotel options:
1. Proximity to Mays Clinic
Luxurway offers homes in several Houston neighborhoods. Travel time to Mays Clinic depends on the property, traffic, and your appointment building. Compare the home’s location and check a current route before booking.
- Avoid the Highway: Our locations allow you to take surface streets, avoiding the stress of Houston freeway traffic.
2. Private Kitchens for Dietary Needs
Chemotherapy often changes your appetite or requires strict dietary restrictions.
-
Hotels: Mini-fridges and microwaves limit your ability to eat healthy.
-
Luxurway: Full gourmet kitchens allow caregivers to prepare fresh, specific meals that aid in recovery.
3. Immune-Friendly Environments
In a hotel, you share elevators, lobbies, and HVAC systems with hundreds of travelers.
- Luxurway: You rent a private home. No shared lobbies, no crowded elevators, and control over your own environment. This is critical for patients with low white blood cell counts.
4. Space for Caregivers
Treatment is rarely a solo journey. Family members need space to work, relax, and sleep without disturbing the patient. Our homes feature multiple bedrooms, private backyards, and spacious living areas.
| Feature | Luxurway Private Housing | Extended Stay Hotels | Joe's House / Budget Motels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy | High (Private Home) | Medium (Shared Walls) | Low (High Traffic) |
| Kitchen | Full Chef's Kitchen | Kitchenette | None / Microwave |
| Cleanliness | Deep Cleaned per Guest | Daily Maid Service | Variable |
