The Memphis Medical District Collaborative is a community development organization working with partners to strengthen the communities between and around the major anchor institutions in the Memphis Medical District so that they are more livable, vibrant, and safe. 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.
