Clinical excellence and innovation continue to define our surgeons’ work across four renowned Texas Medical Center institutions: Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center (home to the Texas Heart Institute and Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center), the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center (the largest VA hospital in the United States), Ben Taub Hospital (famous for trauma surgery), and Texas Children’s Hospital (the busiest pediatric hospital in the nation).
In addition to launching the new Center for Robotic Cardiothoracic Surgery and record-setting lung transplant programs, Texas Children’s Hospital colleagues maintained their No. 1 spot for pediatric transplant volume. Surgeons at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center also made strides, becoming one of only two VA heart transplant programs and performing the first combined heart-kidney transplant in the VA system.
