About NGH
Who are we? Our mission says it all:
Nashville General Hospital at Meharry is a publicly supported, academically affiliated, community-based hospital. We are committed to providing excellent health care regardless of age, race, creed, gender, sexual preference or ability to pay. With the alliance of Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University, the Medical Staff and our employees will provide an educational and research environment based on the provision of comprehensive, compassionate, acute care services to those in need. Our employees, physicians and vendors will be given the same respect, concern and caring attitude that they are expected to share with our customers.
In order to meet our vision, mission and values, we will
work together to be financially viable while continuously
improving our skills and resources through excellence in
education and research.
Our goal is the achievement of 100% access to health care and zero disparity.
Nashville General Hospital at Meharry is city-owned and is governed by the MetropolitanNashville Hospital Authority, under the leadership of Board Chair Dick Ragsdale and CEO Reginald W. Coopwood, M.D., F.A.C.S.
