Memorial University Medical Center

Description

Memorial University Medical Center (MUMC) is a non-profit, 530-bed tertiary care hospital in Savannah, Ga. We opened our doors in 1955 and have evolved into the most advanced healthcare provider in the region. We are a regional referral center for cardiac care, cancer care, trauma, pediatrics, high-risk obstetrics, and neonatology. Our hospital includes the region’s only Level 1 trauma center, the region’s only children’s hospital, and a state-of-the-art laboratory where scientists conduct research on the molecular genetics of cancer.

Memorial University Medical Center is part of the world-class Memorial Health system, a two-state healthcare organization serving a 35-county area in southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina. In addition to MUMC, our system includes physician networks, business and industry services, and NurseOne, a 24-hour call center. We also offer a major medical education program that provides residency training in diagnostic radiology, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and surgery.

In 2008, MUMC had 24,500 admissions, performed 22,178 surgeries, and treated 263,994 outpatients. We also trained 117 physician residents. Memorial University Medical Center is one of the largest employers in the region, with approximately 4,700 Team Members. We also provide more charity care than any other healthcare provider in the region.

Memorial University Medical Center has earned prestigious local, regional, and national accolades. We pride ourselves on being forward thinking and proactive in healthcare public policy and patient safety. At MUMC, we are not content with "business as usual." Our goal is to create a new standard for healthcare that will not only serve our current patients, but also change the future of medicine.
