Medical Center is an at-grade metro station on the Red Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It serves the Pill Hill neighborhood of Perimeter Center, the location of Northside Hospital (the country's busiest birthplace), St. Joseph's Hospital, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite.
The station is located on the Fulton and DeKalb County border and the MARTA owned property for this station lies both in Sandy Springs and in unincorporated DeKalb County. The portion in DeKalb County is currently not developed and is a part of MARTA's portfolio for potential Transit Oriented Development.
As of April 2006[update], 1,943 daily fares were collected at the gates.

Medical Center has 200 daily parking spaces available for MARTA users, which are located at the lower level of St. Joseph's parking deck.
