About Tufts Medical Center

Tufts Medical Center is an internationally-respected academic medical center – a teaching hospital where we pride ourselves not only in the sophistication of the care we provide but the compassionate way in which we provide it. We care for all patients from the tiniest newborns at our full-service pediatric hospital, Tufts Children's Hospital to centenarians in our specialized Geriatrics clinic.
