The enormous blocks of unWikified, uncited text added to this article have been removed. They look cut and pasted from somewhere and may be a copyright violation. Short, correctly formatted text is far superior to that sort of expansion. --House of Scandal (talk) 20:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Tufts Medical Center

edit

On March 4th, 2008 Tufts-NEMC will change its name to simply Tufts Medical Center. With the new branding comes a new logo. I have no citable sources for this into, so I'll leave the article itself untouched for now. --House of Scandal (talk) 20:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


I'm a student at Tuft's Med (Master of Biomedical Science) and noticed an events staff setting up tonight (10 PM EST 3-4-07) and the security guard said that this was the reason. They had 2 LCD TVs set up and it simply said "Tufts Medical Center" on it. I was told that the Floating Hospital wasn't changing names though. So, look for some news tomorrow (I'll update if no one else does)

Physical expansion

edit

If you compare the modern street grid and facilities with the map showing the location of the Boston Dispensary, you can see the medical center has displaced several public streets and grown by several blocks. It would be interesting to have more information in the article about which buildings were constructed when, when various streets were eliminated, etc. It's an interesting contrast to the expansion of MGH into the West End after urban renewal; this seems like a more organic form of urban evolution. -- Beland (talk) 23:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
