Health care executives said the Texas Medical Center is seeing “the light at the end of the tunnel” as 2020 comes to a close with promising vaccine trials and construction of its planned research and innovation campus TMC3 is back on track after getting delayed by the pandemic.
COVID-19 cases, however, are continuing to spike, they warned.
At a State of the Texas Medical Center event, held virtually Thursday, health care leaders said the medical complex has excelled at compiling real-time data to make decisions on how to handle the surge in coronavirus cases and collaborating during the pandemic, something that the institutions had never done before.
