The company’s orthopedic division employs over 2,000 people in the city.

Smith+Nephew is working to transform to a more efficient, effective and agile business. As we make improvements to our business efficiency in Memphis we have identified some activities that are no longer required to be delivered as they are today.

The impacted colleagues are being treated with dignity and respect, in line with our values.”
