Support Improved Access to Care at Sumner Station
Highpoint Health – Sumner with Ascension Saint Thomas is working to improve access to care by adding inpatient treatment beds, a critical care unit, an endoscopy suite and services such as a lab, pharmacy and dietary services to its existing medical campus at Big Station Camp Boulevard in Gallatin.
Highpoint Health – Sumner Station already serves this growing community with a freestanding ER, imaging and cancer services, and this proposed project would evolve the complex into a satellite acute care hospital.
Why support the expansion of Highpoint Health – Sumner Station with Ascension Saint Thomas?
- Sumner County is growing rapidly, and residents need better access to medical services, close to where they live.
- By expanding critical services at Highpoint Health - Sumner Station, more patients will be able to receive the care they need at the same location if admitted from the Sumner Station ER, reducing the potential need to be transported to another facility. Serving more patients in one location will help EMS to have more capacity to help others experiencing a medical emergency and improve the patient experience.
- The addition of inpatient services is a proactive approach to solving anticipated capacity challenges that the area's expected growth will bring.
