Robert Robbins, president and CEO of the Texas Medical Center, says its economic impact has been estimated to be up to $35 billion for the region.

The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in the world.

The institutions that are part of it employ more than 106,000 people, making the Medical Center the single-largest employer in Houston – and that's one reason the current oil slump is not hurting Houston's economy as much as in the 1980s.

For this week's Bauer Business Focus, News 88.7's Florian Martin spoke with the president and CEO of the Texas Medical Center, Robert Robbins.

Dr. Robbins will receive the 2016 International Citizen of the Year award from the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston this month.
