S5E40 - Revisiting Celebrate What’s Right: Anchoring the Community

The Memphis Medical District is among the city’s most vibrant business districts. This success is a direct result of a strategic vision that was put in place a decade ago and brought to life by the Memphis Medical District Collaborative. This visionary organization has spent the last 10 years collaborating and coordinating efforts in the district to ensure shared success for businesses, residents, hospitals, and higher-ed institutions that share space in the heart of the city.

The model they have created is one worth replicating, and in today’s episode, we’ll be airing a live-event recording of a recent “Celebrate What’s Right” panel conversation that reflects on the first decade of impact in the distract, and to hear what’s in store for the next era. This event took place on September 15, 2025 and was made possible by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Kroger, Regional One Health, and Turner Foundation.
