Oracle Moves Headquarters to Nashville to Focus on Healthcare
April 24, 2024
Oracle has decided to relocate its world headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee. The primary motivation behind this move is to position the company closer to one of the major healthcare centers in the United States.
Nashville has been steadily growing as a hub for health systems, health-tech startups, and investment firms. Over the years, the city has fostered an environment conducive to innovation and collaboration in the healthcare sector.
Larry Ellison, the chairman of Oracle, announced the relocation during a discussion with Bill Frist, a former U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Ellison emphasized Nashville’s reputation as an established health center and praised the city’s quality of life, which has generated enthusiasm among Oracle employees for the upcoming move.
“It’s the center of the industry we’re most concerned about, which is the healthcare industry. Our people love it here, and we think it’s the center of our future.”

This relocation comes after Oracle’s move from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, in 2020. Oracle’s strategic expansion into the healthcare sector is evident through its significant acquisitions, including the $28 billion purchase of Cerner, a leading medical records software company.
Nashville’s legacy in the healthcare industry can be traced back to 1968 when HCA Healthcare was founded in the city. This event marked a turning point, establishing Nashville as a magnet for healthcare professionals and organizations.
Oracle’s investment in Nashville is substantial, with the company developing a new $1.2 billion campus over the past three years. Ellison expressed confidence in Nashville’s future as a pivotal location for Oracle’s operations, underscoring the company’s dedication to tackling the challenges facing the healthcare industry.
Oracle’s decision to move its headquarters to Nashville signifies its commitment to the healthcare sector and its recognition of Nashville’s importance in this industry.
