Texas Medical Center (TMC) with 46 member institutions is the largest medical complex in the world.
The complex includes 13 renowned hospitals and two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy and virtually all health-related careers.
TMC has expanded continually since its inception in 1943.
- Planned projects total more than $7 billion in building new hospitals, clinics, research and
other office space by Texas Medical Center (TMC) institutions along with city, county, state
and federal investment for infrastructure, including flood control, new roads and bridges. - According the President and CEO of the Texas Medical Center, there are 17 new projects
that have broken ground valued at $3 billion. - TMC’s projected growth is from its current 28.3 million gross square feet to 40 million gross square feet in 2014, excluding parking.
