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. Sixty years later that dream has been realized many times over. 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.

          In the Texas Medical Center, there is something to meet everybody's needs. All 47 of institutions of the Texas Medical Center are not-for-profit, and are dedicated to the highest standards of patient care, research, and education. 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.

         Two trauma facilities are located in the center, as are institutions specializing in every imaginable aspect of health care, including care for children, cancer patients, heart care, organ transplantation, terminal illness, mental health, and wellness and prevention.

         Many TMC institutions are working to make the Texas Medical Center quality of care convenient to even more people by placing clinics, offices, and other facilities in neighborhoods throughout Houston and the surrounding communities, and even in other parts of Texas and the world.
