On April 10, Vanderbilt Health welcomed the staff of Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital to the enterprise with a daylong celebration that ran from early morning through the evening.

Mascots from Nashville’s sports teams — the Titans, Predators, Nashville SC and Sounds — along with representatives from Vanderbilt Athletics and Austin Peay State University made appearances throughout the day. Employees enjoyed meeting new colleagues, Chick-fil-A, s’mores, giveaways and more.

Vanderbilt Health acquired the 270-bed hospital on February 2.
