On February 2, Vanderbilt Health leaders announced the completion of the acquisition of Tennova Healthcare-Clarksville Hospital and freestanding emergency room Tennova ER-Sango, along with the hospital’s related businesses, from Community Health Systems Inc.
Under Vanderbilt Health’s ownership, the 270-bed hospital is now Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital and the freestanding Sango ER is Vanderbilt Emergency Sango.
Also joining the Vanderbilt Health system are outpatient services and physician practice locations in Clarksville, Dover, Pleasant View and Tiny Town. Depending on location, these offer services in orthopaedics, primary care, wound care, digestive health, urology and surgery.
This acquisition expands Vanderbilt Health’s ability to serve patients across the region by providing high-quality care in more convenient, community settings that are also more cost-effective.
“We are thrilled to welcome Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital into our health system. Providing exceptional care close to home is invaluable, and we are eager to serve the citizens of Clarksville and Montgomery County by expanding the hospital’s programs and services,” said Jeff Balser, MD, PhD, President and CEO of Vanderbilt Health.
Vanderbilt Health has held a 20% minority interest in these operations since 2021.
