Tufts Medical Center (until 2008 Tufts-New England Medical Center), a 15-building campus located in Boston, Massachusetts, is a downtown Boston hospital midway between Chinatown and the Boston Theater District.
The hospital is a community-based full service medical center. It is also the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine and the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where all full-time Tufts physicians hold faculty appointments. Tufts Medical Center was formerly subdivided into a full-service adult hospital and the Tufts Children's Hospital, the latter of which closed in 2022.
The hospital is an integrated part of the Tufts Medicine, which also includes Lowell General Hospital, MelroseWakefield Hospital, Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford (part of MelroseWakefield), home health services, and physician networks.
It is also a major center for bio-medical research. Tufts Medical Center's Interim President is Phil Okala. Tufts Medical Center is located within Boston, but also has satellite locations in the suburbs of Quincy, Chelmsford, Framingham, among others.
