Learn moreSumner Regional Medical Center: real access, with a genuinely mixed satisfaction picture
Highpoint Health Sumner Regional Medical Center (CMS Certification Number 440003) is Gallatin's local hospital. Patient-satisfaction data reads mixed rather than strong: 61% of patients recommend the hospital, with HCAHPS-derived ratings citing doctor communication as "Fair," cleanliness and discharge information as "Average," and pain management and quiet rooms as "Good" (retrieved 2026-08-22). The hospital has been recognized with an America's 100 Best Hospitals for Prostate Surgery Award in the past two years -- a real, specific strength within an otherwise average-to-mixed overall satisfaction profile. This is a more mixed picture than TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center's "Straight A" Leapfrog safety grade for Smyrna elsewhere in this batch, disclosed directly rather than framed more favorably than the data supports.
Crime data: consistently moderate-to-favorable across sources
NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 10 per 1,000 residents, describing it as near the average for all U.S. cities and towns of all sizes, with a 1-in-482 chance of violent-crime victimization -- a rate of 2 per 1,000. CrimeGrade.org's cost-of-crime figure ($423/resident) is cited as $41 below the national average and $270 below the Tennessee state average (both retrieved 2026-08-22). Both sources point the same direction -- moderate, near-or-below national average -- a more consistent and more favorable read than either Smyrna or Mount Juliet elsewhere in this batch.
Key takeaways
- Highpoint Health Sumner Regional Medical Center serves Gallatin directly, though patient-satisfaction data reads genuinely mixed (61% recommend, "Fair" doctor communication) rather than strong -- a real America's 100 Best Hospitals for Prostate Surgery award notwithstanding.
- NeighborhoodScout (10 per 1,000, near national average) and CrimeGrade.org (cost of crime below both national and TN averages) both characterize Gallatin as moderate-to-favorable -- a more consistent, more positive read than Smyrna or Mount Juliet elsewhere in this batch.
- Confirm current, address-specific healthcare and crime data directly before relocating, particularly given Sumner Regional's mixed satisfaction signals.
- This more favorable crime profile is a real factor for the retiree-oriented buyers this market specifically draws -- see retiring.
