This acquisition marks Vanderbilt Health’s fourth regional hospital expansion, further strengthening its presence across Middle Tennessee beyond its already extensive inpatient and ambulatory services in Nashville.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center announces plans to assume complete ownership of Tennova Healthcare-Clarksville hospital from subsidiaries of Community Health Systems Inc. VUMC has held a minority interest in the hospital since 2021.

"Supply Chain is more than just operations — we're a strategic partner within the organization and critical to continued growth," Redmond said.
