University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center - Houston, TX
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, which marked its 70th anniversary in 2011, is one of the world’s most-respected centers devoted exclusively to cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. It is located in central Houston on the sprawling campus of the Texas Medical Center.
MD Anderson was created in 1941 as a part of The University of Texas System. The institution is one of the nation’s original three comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Act of 1971 and is one of 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers today.
In 2011, U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” survey ranked
MD Anderson as the top hospital in the nation for cancer care. It has achieved the top ranking eight times in the past 10 years and has ranked as one of the top two hospitals for cancer care since the magazine began its annual survey in 1990.
Since 1944, nearly 900,000 patients have turned to MD Anderson for cancer care in the form of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or combinations of these and other treatments. This multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer was pioneered at MD Anderson. Because its experts focus on cancer, they’re renowned for their ability to treat all types of cancer, including rare or uncommon diseases.
During Fiscal Year 2010, MD Anderson provided cancer care for about 105,000 patients. Of those, more than 32,000 were new patients. About one-third of patients come to Houston from outside Texas, seeking the knowledge-based care that has made MD Anderson so widely respected. There were nearly 10,000 registrants on clinical trials exploring novel therapies and diagnostic tests in FY10, making it the largest such program in the nation.
The University of Memphis - Memphis, Tennessee
The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912. Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the tiger as the mascot. Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict.
Today, the University of Memphis is one of Tennessee's three comprehensive doctoral-extensive institutions of higher learning. Situated in a beautiful park-like setting in the state's largest city, it is the flagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually. With an enrollment of approximately 21,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five state-approved Centers of Excellence.
The University of Memphis is a learner-centered metropolitan research university providing high quality educational experiences while pursuing new knowledge through research, artistic expression, and interdisciplinary and engaged scholarship.
