Tufts Medical Center at a Glance

Tufts Medical Center (Tufts Medical Center) is a world-class, academic medical institution which is home to two full-service hospitals: one serving adults (Tufts Medical Center), and Floating Hospital for Children, dedicated exclusively to all levels of pediatric care. The Medical Center is also the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, and pioneers groundbreaking research including numerous clinical trials available exclusively at Tufts Medical Center.

In 1992, with the addition of a maternity service, Tufts Medical Center became the first private, full-service hospital in Boston. Located in downtown Boston, Tufts Medical Center is adjacent to the city’s Theater District and Chinatown. The Medical Center’s state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, facilities for inpatient and outpatient services and dedicated medical professionals have helped establish it as one of the United States’ leading medical institutions.

Superlative Treatment and Care

Tufts Medical Center’s physicians and services have been rated among the best in the nation in a number of comparative surveys, and compassionate, patient-centered care is one of the Medical Center’s hallmarks. A multidisciplinary approach ensures both complete and thorough consideration of treatment options. All patients are assigned a primary nurse to coordinate nursing care, education and discharge planning, and the Floating Hospital for Children pioneered the concept of caring for the "whole child" rather than simply treating a child’s illness.

The Medical Center currently has 451 licensed beds:

210 - medical/surgical
46 - adult intensive care
66 - pediatric (including 12 pediatric psychiatric beds)
62 - pediatric and neonatal intensive care
23 - post-partum
20 - adult psychiatric
24 - bassinets
