Dear Medical Center Friend:

Tufts-New England Medical Center is now Tufts Medical Center. But it's not just a shorter name. It's a reflection of our proud affiliation as the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine. It's a commitment to delivering individualized attention to every individual. And it's a partnership that allows us to offer the latest advances in academic medicine and research to the patients, families and referring physicians whom we honorably serve.

Floating Hospital for Children retains its name but has a great new logo that reflects its capabilities as a full-service children's hospital and its proud place as part of the Tufts Medical Center family.
