A Legacy of Excellence
Since opening our doors in 1948, our medical center has grown from a 60-bed community hospital into a nationally recognized, 650-bed academic medical center serving more than 500,000 patients each year. Our history is one of continuous innovation, from performing the region's first open-heart surgery in 1962 to pioneering robotic-assisted procedures that are now standard of care. Our campus includes a Level I Trauma Center, a dedicated children's hospital, a comprehensive cancer center, and a women's health pavilion. We also operate 25 outpatient clinics throughout the metropolitan area, ensuring that expert care is accessible within every community we serve. As an academic medical center affiliated with the university's School of Medicine, we train the next generation of physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. More than 800 residents and fellows complete their graduate medical education here each year, and our research programs generate over $120 million annually in funded studies that translate bench discoveries into bedside treatments. Our commitment extends beyond the walls of our hospital. Community health initiatives, free screening programs, and partnerships with local organizations address social determinants of health and reduce disparities in underserved populations. We believe that true healthcare means caring for the whole community.
