Meharry Medical College Partners With Oracle Health to Advance Health Care Access and Education

Meharry Medical College in Nashville, one of four historically Black medical schools in the country, has announced a new partnership with Oracle Health to advance healthcare in communities across Tennessee and beyond.

As part of their recently signed agreement, the two institutional partners will collaborate on research, education, and community care initiatives. Alongside local health care providers, public officials, and community organizations, Meharry and Oracle plan to establish a health innovation hub and community wellness center in Nashville. Additionally, Meharry will have access to Oracle’s AI and clinical application software, which will enhance the medical school’s hands-on training and experiential learning opportunities.

“Meharry has been addressing health disparities and proving that mission-driven care can change lives for nearly 150 years,” said Meharry Medical College President and CEO James E. K. Hildreth. “By combining our expertise with Oracle Health’s innovative technology, we will forge a path that other institutions and communities can follow. This collaboration transcends education and will create a model for more compassionate, equitable, and community-centered care allowing everyone access to the care they need and deserve.”
