The Nashville Health Care Council has released a statement in support of the COVID-19 vaccines.

“The Nashville Health Care Council Board of Directors is proud to represent a distinguished group of leading national health care companies. We have direct insight into the tragedy and burden that COVID-19 has brought upon the communities we serve coast-to-coast. We also represent leading clinicians and clinical teams – scientists who have dedicated their lives to treating patients and fighting infectious disease. Collectively, we want to affirm that the COVID vaccines are safe, effective, and the only solution that will bring us to the other side of this pandemic. We stand behind the many health systems, hospitals, provider groups and countless private businesses across the nation working to vaccinate their employees, patients and communities, and urge every person to get vaccinated as soon as possible.”
