Learn moreTriStar Hendersonville Medical Center: a real, substantial local hospital
TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center is a 159-bed facility that has served Sumner and surrounding counties for more than 45 years, located roughly 15 minutes outside Nashville. It's a designated Level III Trauma Center and Certified Primary Stroke Center, and holds the distinction of being the first Accredited Chest Pain Center in Sumner County and the first Innovation Hub of HCA Healthcare and Digital Transformation and Innovation (DT&I).
Real specialty depth: cardiology, birth center with NICU, and surgical services
The hospital offers cardiology (including an Electrophysiology Catheterization Lab for complex cardiac procedures), neurology, orthopedic, surgical, and wound care services. Its Birth Center features a six-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), maternity suites, and a lactation boutique. The hospital has also expanded into bariatric surgery with a range of minimally invasive weight-loss surgical options.
A network of affiliated facilities beyond the main campus
Beyond the main hospital, TriStar Hendersonville's affiliated network includes TriStar Women's Imaging Hendersonville, The Outpatient Center at Hendersonville, and TriStar Portland ER and Diagnostic Center -- giving the broader Sumner County area multiple points of access rather than a single hospital campus alone.
Proximity to Nashville adds a real specialty-care backstop
Hendersonville's roughly 15-mile, 29.7-minute average commute to downtown Nashville (see traffic-transportation) means residents needing care beyond a Level III trauma designation have real, close access to Nashville's larger academic medical centers -- while TriStar Hendersonville itself covers a genuine, substantial range of routine and specialty needs locally.
