The Texas Medical
Center started with a dream to create a medical center,
where people from all walks of life could have access
to the best health care anywhere — whether they were
rich, poor, famous, alone, young, or old.
In the more than 50 years since
that dream originated, it has been realized many times
over. The Texas Medical Center today has 42 member institutions
that each exists to serve all of mankind. On any given
day, one can find people from every social circumstance
and many of the world's nations seeking treatment at
the center's renowned institutions.
Many of the member institutions
are working to make the Texas Medical Center quality
of care convenient to even more people by putting clinics,
offices, and other facilities in neighborhoods throughout
Houston and the surrounding communities, and even in
other parts of Texas and the world.
All 42 of the Texas Medical
Center's member institutions are not-for-profit, and
are dedicated to the highest standards of patient and
preventive care, research, education, and local, national,
and international community well-being. These institutions
include 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. It is where one of the first,
and still the largest, air emergency service was created;
a very successful inter-institutional transplant program
was developed; and more heart surgeries are performed
than anywhere else in the world. |
