HOUSTON-According to its website, Texas Medical Center was launched in the mid-1940s to provide a place for people “from all walks of life” to access the most advanced healthcare possible, no matter what their economic status. These days, the TMC is known as the largest employer in Houston, boasting 21 hospitals; three public health organizations; two universities; three medical schools; six nursing programs; two pharmacy schools; a dental school; eight academic and research institutions; and 13 support organizations.

Sprawling across close to 300 acres that supports 45.8 million square feet of space, the TMC is its own submarket. The sprawling submarket is situated due southwest from the CBD bordered by SH 288 on the east, US 59 on the north, and Interstate 610 forming the southern and western boundaries.  When it comes to traveling to the TMC, patients from Katy, TX (far west Houston) or The Woodlands, TX (far north Houston) can end up spending a long time in their cars.
