In 2024, the medical center and the Graduate School of Medicine proudly hosted the Inaugural Research Showcase, an event celebrating the vital role of research in driving innovation, improving patient outcomes and ultimately transforming lives. As both a leading hospital and research facility in East Tennessee, our work is shaping the future of health care both locally and beyond. The showcase provided a unique opportunity for attendees to connect with leading researchers and panelists who are advancing the practice of medicine. More than 20 groundbreaking, philanthropic supported projects demonstrated how philanthropy helps fuel medical breakthroughs. This event highlighted the pride we can all share, knowing this transformative work is happening right here in our community.
