Some hospital features:
Robotic Surgery Center
Our Robotic Surgery Center is home to the da Vinci® Surgical System. The da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
Cardiac Services
Methodist North's cardiac services now include the most advanced heart diagnostic technology in the world with our new GE LightSpeed VCT 64-Slice Scanner. Previously unavailable in the Mid-South, this new state-of-the-art imaging tool can scan the entire body in ten seconds and produce images of the heart and coronary arteries in less than five heartbeats. It is also important in diagnosing and pinpointing stroke and other neurological problems. Cardiac catheterization, open-heart surgery, and a full range of diagnostic tests including Holter monitors, EKGs and echocardiograms are also available at Methodist North.
LIFENET®
Methodist North Hospital is also on the forefront of saving the lives of heart-attack patients by using LIFENET, which provides a critical link between paramedics in the field to hospital-based physicians in the emergency room. Paramedics with the Bartlett Fire Department are able to use their digital cell phone to send a diagnostic-quality electrocardiogram from their defibrillator to the emergency room at Methodist North. The transmission takes just 90 seconds and allows the cardiology team to mobilize and be prepared to treat the patient as soon as the ambulance arrives.
Chest Pain Center
Methodist North is proud to be one of only a handful of hospitals in the region to receive full accreditation as a Chest Pain Center from The Society of Chest Pain Centers. A non-profit organization focused on improving care for patients, the Society of Chest Pain Centers evaluates chest pain programs and protocols. To earn this distinction, Methodist North demonstrated facility and personnel expertise and met or exceeded a wide set of stringent criteria.
Associates from the Chest Pain Center are available for community education events and speaking engagements on heart attack prevention and early warning signs. For more information, please contact Linda Rickman at 901.516.0531 or the director of the Chest Pain Center at 901.516.5958. More information on heart attack warning signs and prevention can be found by visiting Act in Time, a program by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
Methodist Total Joint Center
The Total Joint Center at Methodist North is the only center in Memphis that provides a dedicated orthopaedic unit focused on patients undergoing total knee and hip replacement. The center includes:
- Eleven spacious inpatient rooms, specifically designed for orthopaedic patients, which lower all the way to the ground.
- Rooms furnished with sleeper sofas for the comfort of visiting family members.
- Easy access to diagnostic facilities.
Family Birthing Center
Privacy, personal attention and the comforts of home surround expectant parents in our 28-bed Family Birthing Center. Each room is set up to allow the mother to labor, deliver and recover in the same room. Family visiting times are flexible and the baby can stay with mom. A fully-equipped Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides care for premature or sick infants. We'll also help you and your family prepare for your baby's arrival with classes for parents, as well as big brothers and sisters.

24-hour Emergency Care for Children and Adults
As part of the Le Bonheur Pediatric Emergency Network, Methodist North's Emergency Department is specially staffed and trained to care for sick and injured children, as well as adults. Our Certified Chest Pain Center provides specialized attention and treatment for those who need immediate help with chest pain. The Emergency Department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Outpatient Surgery and Services
The Same Day Surgery Center inside the hospital and the Methodist North Surgery Center adjacent to the hospital offer a wide array of testing services and outpatient surgery options. The staff at the Diagnostic Center at Methodist North performs X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, mammograms and MRIs. The center features a GE Signa OpenSpeed MRI, which accommodates patients who are claustrophobic or are above average size.
Outpatient rehabilitation for speech, occupational and physical therapy and cardiac rehab is also available on the Methodist North campus.
