There is no question there are several highly regarded and prestigious institutions in the TMC, butt there are no "official" rankings of Medical Centers just rankings of individual hospitals and institutions and those are judgement calls themselves . So although Majics claims cannot be proven fully they cannot be fully disproven either. The TMC does not have a central management structure so in a way it is just a collection of individual hospitals, but the collection is eclectic and in total adds up to one amazing prestigious complex that is without question preeminent in this region at least, and one of the best in the country, and therefor the world...
I was asking who cares about how "big" TMC is. As far as healthcare goes Dallas is well regarded in that area too.

In a timely article in the Houston Chronicle today it's being announced that Johnson and Johnson will establish a "Start up incubator" in cooperation with the Texas Medical Centers commercialization accelerator TMCx

"This is a real validation of Texas," said William McKeon, the Medical Center's executive vice president and chief strategy and operating officer. "J&J could go anywhere. Texas is not just big. It's an untapped market. When J&J moves here, that's going to send a real powerful message. We'll be unstoppable."

"Melinda Richter, who heads J-Labs, said Houston was picked because of the Medical Center's potential to transform billions of dollars of grant-funded research into commercial products. The hospitals and researchers in the complex have received an estimated $3.7 billion in research funding over the last five years.

"Houston has some of the best scientists in the world," Richter said. "We came to the Texas Medical Center and we were impressed by the depth of the organizations, the areas of focus of its researchers, their grant funding and their ambitions. There's amazing research going on here. We're committed to being here."

Doubtful this will be on the scale they want but hopefully they can get a super tall out of the project.
