Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge

Methodist Medical Center first opened as an Army hospital in 1943 when Oak Ridge was still America's "Secret City" during the World War II Manhattan Project. As Oak Ridge grew from its military roots, so did Methodist. Today, the medical center is a 283-bed facility which employs approximately 1,000 people and serves more than 200,000 citizens in Anderson, Roane, Morgan Campbell and Scott counties. The medical center is an Advanced Primary Stroke Center which offers 30 specialty services ranging from cardiology and orthopedics to oncology and wound care. It is a part of Covenant Health, the region's top performing healthcare network. Our health system's more than 11,000 employees, physicians, and volunteers are unified by our pledge: to put our patients first every day, to strive for excellence in everything we do, and to make Covenant Health the first and best choice in our region.
