Nashville is home to a diverse healthcare cluster with leaders in a number of industry niches that impact the healthcare landscape locally, nationally, and internationally.
- The Nashville healthcare industry contributes an overall economic benefit of $68 billion and more than 333,000 jobs to the local economy annually.
- Globally, Nashville’s healthcare industry generates more than $97 billion in revenue and nearly 500,000 jobs.
- More than 500 healthcare companies have operations in Nashville and work on a multistate, national, or international basis. Nashville is also home to nearly 400 professional service firms (e.g., accounting, architecture, finance, legal) that provide expertise in the healthcare industry.
- One aspect of Nashville’s healthcare industry, that sets it apart from others across the country, is that 17 publicly traded healthcare companies are headquartered right here in Middle Tennessee. HCA’s 2011 return to Wall Street marked the largest-ever U.S. private equity-backed public offering.
