INVESTING IN THE FUTURE This fall, leaders from Regional One Health and Shelby County announced the team for design, engineering, and construction of the health care system’s new campus. “We’re heralding the beginning of a transformational era for health care and medical innovation in our community,” said President and CEO Reginald Coopwood, MD. Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris added, “Regional One Health has been here for our community for 200 years, and today we’re ensuring they’ll be here for the next 200.” The project team boasts both national health care expertise and local acumen. HDR, based in Omaha, Nebraska, will partner with local firms Self + Tucker Architects, brg3s, METICULOUS, and Cornerstone for architectural and interior design. Memphis Healthcare Buildings, a joint venture between Turner Construction, Flintco Construction, Nickson General Contractors, and Fifer & Associates are providing construction management services. Seattle-based Magnusson Klemencic Associations is the project’s structural engineering firm, and Irvine, California-based Salas O’Brien will partner with local firm Innovative Engineering Services on mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering work. “It’s not just about bringing construction jobs to Memphis, it’s about helping our local businesses thrive over time,” Dr. Coopwood said. It’s also about serving the health care needs of our community for generations. “We are moving forward, thinking big, and taking bold actions for the future of Memphis and the Mid-South,” Dr. Coopwood said. “This isn’t just about building a hospital, it’s about building hope.” Building on nearly 200 years of service, Regional One Health is creating a modern Academic Medical Center to safeguard essential care, drive innovation, and prepare Memphis for the next century. Specializing in Tomorrows means delivering compassionate care, stronger access, and a healthier future for every family in Shelby County and beyond. REGIONAL ONE HEALTH FOUNDATION 19
