The Memphis campuses we run to
St. Jude families come for weeks or months, not days. Those journeys recur and we treat them accordingly. The Medical District just east of downtown is the defining institution cluster in this market — several major hospitals, the university medical campus and St. Jude within a few blocks. It brings families here from across the country and internationally, frequently for treatment measured in months rather than days. That work recurs, and the right response is a standing arrangement with a chauffeur who already knows the family.
Universities and medical campuses. The Medical District is the defining institution cluster here, with St. Jude drawing families from across the country and internationally.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Medical District
North-east of downtown on its own campus, drawing families from across the country and internationally for treatment that frequently runs months. Those families travel the same routes week after week, often tired and with a child who is unwell. We hold the same chauffeur across a course of treatment wherever we can, because it matters more than the vehicle does.
Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital
Medical District
In the Medical District with a dedicated family entrance and a steady flow of families travelling with children and equipment from across the mid-south. The vehicle matters as much as the route and we ask about seating and equipment at booking rather than at the kerb.
Methodist University Hospital
Medical District
A large hospital within the district sharing the approach roads with its neighbours, with separate entrances for different services and a queue at shift change. We confirm which entrance the appointment needs rather than using the main one by default.
Baptist Memorial Hospital
East Memphis
The main campus is in East Memphis rather than the Medical District, which catches out people who booked on the name. A large site with its own parking structures and clear signage, and easier to reach than the downtown institutions.
UT Health Science Center
Medical District
The university medical campus in the middle of the district, teaching and research across several buildings that share approaches with the hospitals. The building genuinely matters here, and visiting faculty come through constantly.
University of Memphis
East Memphis
A large campus in East Memphis with its own road network and proper parking, straightforward to work outside home game days. Closer to the eastern hotels than to downtown, which suits a combined academic and corporate day.
Rhodes College
Midtown
In Midtown near Overton Park, a compact and handsome campus behind stone walls with a small number of gates. Pleasant to work and easy once you know which gate. Commencement fills the surrounding residential streets.
Christian Brothers University
Midtown
Also in Midtown on East Parkway, a contained campus with straightforward access and parking. Quiet and simple compared with the Medical District, and a short run from both downtown and East Memphis.
To the Memphis campuses and the Medical District
Door to campus, ordinary conditions. Medical District figures assume you are going to the right building, which is why we confirm it before the day.
| Route | Approx. distance | Off-peak | Allow in peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEM to the Medical District | 9 miles | 14–20 min | 22–35 min |
| MEM to St. Jude | 11 miles | 16–22 min | 25–40 min |
| Downtown to the Medical District | 2 miles | 8–12 min | 15–26 min |
| MEM to the University of Memphis | 7 miles | 12–18 min | 20–34 min |
| Downtown to Rhodes College | 5 miles | 12–18 min | 20–34 min |
How Memphis campus and medical transfers are priced
Campus and medical transfers are quoted per route and confirmed in writing before you travel, with no surge pricing at any hour. Long treatment schedules are set up as a standing arrangement at an agreed rate with a named chauffeur, rather than quoted journey by journey.
For a family at St. Jude or Le Bonheur staying weeks or months, talk to us about a standing arrangement. A fixed rate, a known chauffeur and a car that turns up without being asked is worth more to people in that position than anything else we offer.
