Memphis Medical District Collaborative 6 neighborhoods. 8 anchor institutions. ONE mission: turn the Medical District into a vibrant, safe, equitable destination. Building momentum since 2016.

Home to Medical District Park, Taste of the District, Hire Local 901, and WIN. MMDC is a community development organization working with anchor institutions to strengthen the connections, communities, and campuses in the Memphis Medical District so they are more vibrant, prosperous, and equitable. With over 24,000 employees and students and more than 10,000 residents, the Memphis Medical District is poised for growth, expansion, and opportunity. Located between Downtown and Midtown Memphis, the Medical District is in the process of transformation and forging an identity of its own. The District is home to large medical and educational institutions, including several prominent hospitals and colleges. Also within the District borders are historic and unique neighborhoods including the Pinch District, Uptown, Peabody-Vance, the Edge, Victorian Village, and Madison Heights. We are involved in over 20 initiatives in the District. MMDC's programs and incentives work to strengthen the neighborhoods in the District to make the area more livable, vibrant, and safe. Our projects are shaped by collaboration with anchors, community stakeholders, and our funding partners. An effort of this magnitude would not be successful without the collective support, active engagement, and coordinated collaboration of the District's major anchor institutions. The Anchor Institutions collectively represent over 16,000 employees, 8,000 students, 250 acres of property, and have $2.7 billion in operating budget. MMDC's Anchor Institutions include ALSAC/St. Jude, Baptist College of Health Sciences, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, Regional One Health, Southern College of Optometry, and Southwest Tennessee Community College.

Safe to say Sparky just set the vibe bar ridiculously high for the rest of the office 🎤🕺

Huge thanks to the Magnus Sparco team for dropping by with Sparky! Love seeing how global solutions get their inspiration and spark from Memphis talent—shoutout to the co-founder of Magnus Labs holding it down as a White Station High School grad! 🎓

It was an absolute blast for our Medical District partners to see how humanoid models can work alongside humans to improve health outcomes (and instantly upgrade the office vibes when the music starts).

Turning parking spots into public spaces! 🚗➡️🌳

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to make PARK(ing) Day 2026 a success!

What is PARK(ing) Day? It’s an annual global event where citizens, artists, and community members transform ordinary parking spaces into temporary public parks, gardens, and interactive art spaces—reimagining how we use our streetscapes for just one day. 🌿✨

We loved seeing the creativity on display and can’t wait to see you all again next year!

From training to employment, every step matters.

DeQuavia’s journey is an example of what can happen when training, support, and employer connections come together to create a pathway into healthcare. Through MMDC’s workforce partnerships, participants have opportunities to build skills, gain experience, and connect with healthcare employers. These connections help turn training into opportunity and opportunity into a career.

We’re proud to support pathways that help people take the next step and contribute to a stronger healthcare workforce for Memphis.
