Healthcare System Overview

An In-Depth Look into the Healthcare System

Regional One Health is the public safety-net health system for Memphis and the surrounding region. Its acute care hospital, Regional Medical Center, was chartered in 1829 and is the oldest hospital in Tennessee. The system cares for many of the Mid-South's most critical and complex patients, and it is the academic home for UT Regional One Physicians and UTHSC residency programs.

System Snapshot

Centers of Excellence

Regional Medical Center has four designated Centers of Excellence:

• Elvis Presley Trauma Center
• Firefighters Burn Center
• Sheldon B. Korones Newborn Center, the neonatal intensive care unit
• High-Risk Obstetrics Program

High-risk obstetrics and neonatal care are two of the system's core programs. As an MFM physician, your work would sit directly within them.

Planning for a New Campus

Regional One Health is planning a new academic medical center campus in downtown Memphis. You would join while that campus is being designed and have a voice in how MFM services take shape.

The system describes the project as one of the largest infrastructure investments in Shelby County history. It is intended to bring patient care, education, and research together on one campus.
