Nashville Medical News | Cindy Sanders

Last month, officials with the Nashville Health Care Council announced the Board of Directors has updated the organization’s purpose statement to better reflect the Council’s scope and impact. The new purpose statement is: “To inspire global collaboration to improve healthcare by serving as a catalyst for leadership and innovation.”

“The Nashville Health Care Council was founded with the purpose of bringing together healthcare leaders to position Nashville as our nation’s healthcare capital,” said Board Chair C. Wright Pinson, MBA, MD, who is CEO and chief health system officer for Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “Given the amount of change the Council, our industry, and Nashville have undergone in the 20 years since, we felt the time was right to evolve this purpose statement to more accurately reflect the role the Council plays today.”

“I’m pleased our Board recognized that an important piece of the Council’s current and future work involves facilitating conversations among leaders from around the country and the world who wish to work together toward a common goal – improving health care,” said Hayley Hovious, president of the Council. “As the Council grows and evolves to meet health care’s increasing need for collaboration, we’re excited to build upon our unmatched legacy and unique position in the industry. For our nearly 300 corporate members, the Council’s new purpose statement reflects a commitment to further growing the programs and initiatives we already offer, such as FellowsLeadership Health Care and international study missions, while developing new opportunities to connect members with colleagues around the country and the world.”
