The Regional Medical Center (The MED) The Regional Medical Center at Memphis, commonly known as The MED, is an acute-care teaching hospital that serves a six-state region within 150 miles of Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is proud of what The MED has stood for through the years – a pioneer in medical breakthroughs as well as a safety net for those who are unable to get quality health care elsewhere. Known best for its cutting-edge trauma and burn centers, but home to 50 areas of specialty, The MED focuses on providing patient-centric medical care and support in coping with traumatic illnesses, injuries and other high-risk medical conditions. There most significant areas of specialty are referred to as Centers of Excellence. In addition to their trauma and burn centers, these Centers of Excellence include: wounds, high-risk obstetrics, neonatal medicine, sickle cell, HIV/AIDs and bariatrics. The MED, the oldest hospital in Tennessee, was chartered in 1829. Throughout its 170-year history, our facility has evolved from a children’s hospital, to a tuberculosis hospital, to a military hospital, to a maternity hospital, and ultimately to the Regional Medical Center with nationally recognized Centers of Excellence that it is today. Through an affiliation with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, more than half of all physicians in Tennessee have been trained here. We are proud of what The MED has stood for through the years – a pioneer in medical breakthroughs as well as a safety net for those who are unable to get quality health care elsewhere The MED has a long tradition of breaking down diversity barriers – from treating African-American patients when others wouldn’t, to having the first African-American nursing school and dormitory. These efforts have resulted in an environment at The MED where hard work continues to be recognized and rewarded, without regard to color, race, creed or financial standing. We are proud partners of this wonderful institution and thank them for their commitment to the education and development of the students at Memphis Academy of Health Sciences Middle and High School.
