Company History
Built on the foundations of service, care and compassion, Methodist Healthcare's culture is rooted in our rich history. Concerned about the conditions of the hospital where his sick pastor was being treated, Mississippi planter John Sherard dreamed of building a hospital that would provide quality healthcare and privacy for patients.
In 1918, the Methodist Hospital of Memphis was chartered and was built on the site of University Hospital in 1924. Methodist Healthcare was organized and chartered in 1982 as Methodist Health Systems, the parent company of multiple hospitals and other entities. The name was changed to Methodist Healthcare in 1998. What began as a one-hospital dream is now a multi-facility organization, affecting the lives of people all across the Mid-South.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
Rated as the number one hospital in the region (2013-2014) by U.S.News and World Report, Methodist received accolades in nine specialties including neurology and heart surgery.
