Company History
Medical School class of 1903
It took 39 years before the two-year medical school founded in 1902 at Wake Forest College formed the partnership with N.C. Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem that defines the institution today.
The story of how and why the medical school at the college, in tiny Wake Forest, N.C., decided to relocate to Winston-Salem is a fascinating tale involving visionary leaders, a community minded family committed to improving health care in northwest North Carolina, and sheer will. And the medical school's move in 1941 paved the way for the rest of Wake Forest College to relocate 15 years later.
Today, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is a thriving, nationally renowned academic medical center. With 14,000 employees, it is Forsyth County's largest employer. It operates more than 1,000 acute care, psychiatric and rehabilitation beds. The medical school is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation's best, just as the hospital has been since 1993.
