Vanderbilt University Medical Center and A Growing Health System

Vanderbilt University Medical Center was founded in 1874. In the decades since, VUMC has grown not only as a patient care, medical education and research enterprise on our 21st Avenue campus in Nashville, but as a robust health system – represented as “Vanderbilt Health” – with clinics and hospitals across Tennessee and into neighboring states. Managing more than 2 million patient visits each year, Vanderbilt Health is one of the largest academic medical centers and health systems in the Southeast.
