About Middle Tennessee Medical Center

A Legacy of Compassionate Care
Since 1927 Middle Tennessee Medical Center has been committed to physical, emotional and spiritual healing. MTMC is the leading healthcare provider in Rutherford County and we continue to grow our services in order to meet the healthcare needs of our community. MTMC is in the process of building a new $268 million facility that will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The hospital will provide 286 all-private patient rooms and is designed to facilitate a healing and spiritual environment. Our mission is to serve all persons, with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable, while improving the health of individuals and communities. MTMC provides both physical and financial support for many community programs. In fiscal year 2007, MTMC gave almost $12 million in charity care. Saint Thomas Health Services’ regional health system consists of five hospitals – Baptist and Saint Thomas Hospitals and the Center for Spinal Sugery in Nashville, Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro and Hickman Community Hospital in Centerville – and a comprehensive network of affiliated joint ventures in diagnostics, cardiac services and ambulatory surgery as well as medical practices, clinics and rehabilitation facilities. STHS is a member of Ascension Health, a Catholic organization that is the largest not-for-profit health system in the United States.
