TriStar Hendersonville Plans to Bring Freestanding Emergency Room to White House

TriStar Hendersonville is planning to bring a freestanding emergency room to White House!

“We are proud to be the hospital of choice for the residents of White House and surrounding communities, and we look forward to bringing our care closer to home,” said Justin Coury, chief executive officer of TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center. “This new freestanding emergency room will ensure that residents can access high-quality emergency care much faster which can save lives.”

TriStar Hendersonville plans to apply for a Certificate of Need with the Tennessee Health Facilities Commission to build a state-of-the-art emergency room that will enhance healthcare access to critical emergency services. We are excited to expand our services to this growing community and look forward to providing life-saving care closer to home.

A freestanding ER can do all the things a hospital-based ER can do. It can treat heart attacks, strokes, broken bones and other emergencies. The only difference is that it isn’t connected to a hospital, allowing them to be located in communities that are miles away from the nearest ER to provide faster care.

The proposed freestanding emergency room will feature:

• 11 treatment/exam rooms

• Trauma room

• Imaging department

• Nursing station

• Support space
