The Memphis Medical Center, the region's primary patient care and medical research hub, is experiencing rapid growth in biomedical technology. Advances in this market niche are positioning Memphis as an internationally recognized leader in biosciences. Projects supporting this growth include construction of a $450 million UT Baptist Research Park, a $25 million Regional Biocontainment Lab, and a $22 million UT Basic Sciences Building.
Growth in the Medical Center is also seen in patient care facilities, such as the $500 million campus expansion of St. Jude Children's Medical Center, a $327 million expansion to LeBonheur Children's Medical Center, and construction of the $27 million Midtown Mental Health Institute.
Top-notch comprehensive care is available at Methodist University Hospital, the Regional Medical Center at Memphis ("The Med"), and the UT Medical Group. The Veteran's Affairs Medical Center offers health care to nearly 200,000 veterans in the Mid-South.
Harbor of Health is a new integrated medical clinic and wellness center, offering a variety of fitness and health education classes in addition to primary care. Yoga, pilates, massage therapy and other approaches to preventative care are all a part of this facility's approach to health care.
