Tufts-New England Medical Center (Tufts-NEMC) is a world-class academic medical center providing outstanding patient care to both adults and children. Tufts-NEMC physicians offer advanced medical science and services in every major specialty and subspecialty and an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of patients with complicated diseases.
As the oldest permanent medical facility in New England and one of the first in the nation, the 450-bed Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, where all full-time Medical Center physicians hold faculty appointments. Tufts-NEMC offers compassionate, patient-centered care, where a team approach ensures both complete and thorough consideration of treatment options. Patients value the personal, caring touch offered by Tufts-NEMC physicians and staff. Each patient has a specially designated primary nurse who coordinates nursing care, provides patient education and facilitates discharge planning.
Tufts-NEMC is in the top five percent of all institutions receiving National Institutes of Health research funding. The Medical Center’s record includes contributions in the fields of patented technologies, medical research and treatments for cancer, heart disease and other life-threatening illnesses, as well as studies concerning the social science aspects of health.
With a proud history of more than two centuries of outstanding clinical care, the Medical Center also has distinguished itself in research. It is a leader in the development of innovative cancer therapies, including autologous bone marrow transplants, and was the first to demonstrate the immunosuppressive qualities of certain drugs, which paved the way for organ transplantation. Conveniently located in downtown Boston, the Medical Center has played a key role in promoting better access to health care in the surrounding communities. Its network with local physician groups and its satellite clinics provide high-quality care in numerous locations around Boston and throughout New England. |
