MUHC has also consistently been named one of the nation’s “Most Wired” health systems by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). The city of Columbia is also a diverse hub of education, art, and culture in the Midwest. Ranked by the American Institute for Economic Research as one of the nation’s top 10 college towns, Columbia offers small-town friendliness with big city features, a high quality of life and low cost of living for people of all ages and interests.

Columbia is right in the middle of the state and the nation, Missouri's fourth most-populous and fastest growing city, has its own airport, and is about 2 hours away from St. Louis or Kansas City.
