NASHVILLE/DALLAS – Market Center Management Company, the management company of leading trade centers and trade events around the world, and SpecialtyCare announced today that Nashville-based SpecialtyCare will join the Nashville Medical Trade Center.

In addition, SpecialtyCare will locate their National Center for Education and Training at the center to keep their highly trained clinicians current on procedures, equipment, and industry issues. A fully equipped state-of-the-art simulated operating room will be a key component of the design.
