Nashville is home to a diverse health care cluster with leaders in a number of industry niches that impact the health care landscape locally, nationally and internationally.
- The Nashville health care industry contributes an overall economic benefit of $67 billion and more than 328,000 jobs to the local economy annually.
- Globally, Nashville’s health care industry generates more than $95 billion in revenue and more than 500,000 jobs.
- More than 500 health care 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 health care industry.
- One aspect of Nashville’s health care industry that sets it apart is that 18 publicly traded health care companies are headquartered right here in Nashville. HCA’s 2011 return to Wall Street marked the largest-ever U.S. private equity-backed public offering.
