Formed in 1986, Teaching Hospitals of Texas (THOT) is an association of state, public, and non-profit hospitals and health systems committed to providing access to quality health care for all Texans and to training the next generation of physicians, nurses, and allied health personnel. Our members account for 40 percent of the state’s GME training positions, 40 percent of the state’s Level I trauma centers, and 44 percent of the nearly $8 billion in uninsured care costs incurred and reported by Texas hospitals. THOT members provide care to patients in every one of Texas’ 254 counties. More than half of THOT’s members have achieved Magnet® designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
