As of 2012 the museum gets over 180,000 annual visitors, including 22,000 schoolchildren who visit the facility during organized field trips.

The museum revamped its brand in 2006, as part of the 10th anniversary of the standalone facility.

[1] The new branding included a shortened name ("The Health Museum") and a new logo.

Honorably named after the respected and accomplished medical pioneer, Michael E. DeBakey, M.D., this 2,000 sq.

ft. exhibit features seven authentic biology-based science experiments developed for visitors ages 7 to adult.
