About TuftsMedicalCenter.org
Tufts Medical Center is a world-class academic medical center conveniently located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, home to both a full-service hospital for adults and Floating Hospital for Children. Our Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine. We offer outstanding patient care to both adults and children, teach generations of future physicians the most advanced medical science and break new ground with ongoing, innovative research. Multidisciplinary Approach to Patient Care
Today, Tufts Medical Center is a 415-bed robust organization, providing comprehensive care from routine medical care to treating the most complex diseases affecting adults and children. Tufts Medical Center is also home to Floating Hospital for Children, a full-service children's hospital dedicated exclusively to all levels of pediatric care from the tiniest of newborns to maturing adolescents. From birth through adulthood, we are here for every member of the family.
Our focus is tertiary and quaternary care, providing the most advance treatments for the most complex and serious illnesses and injuries. We provide heart, kidney and bone marrow transplants, are a level II trauma center, provide comprehensive neurological and neurosurgical care, and offer cutting-edge cancer treatments.
Tufts Medical Center provides a multidisciplinary approach to the care of our patients. Due to our intimate size, physicians from one department easily communicate with members of other departments and divisions to bring in perspectives from all groups to determine the right treatment plan for each patient. Referring physicians, the patient and family members are vital members of the multidisciplinary team at Tufts Medical Center and are instrumental in the decision-making process.
Robust Research Program
Another vital component of Tufts Medical Center is our robust research program that includes groundbreaking bench research, clinical trials and developments in health policy. Our research activities are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), private foundations, industry and private individuals. Tufts Medical Center ranks among the top 10 percent of the nation's independent hospitals to receive federal research funds. Our dual mission of advancing knowledge and training our experts to become future investigators drives forward with one goal in mind - quickly turning innovative research into pioneering care.
