About Us

Williamson Medical Center was established as Williamson County Hospital by an act of the state legislature in 1957. With 50 beds and seven physicians, the hospital treated its first patients in January 1958. The Hill-Burton Act provided federal funds to build the hospital, meaning its mission included a focus on providing care without discrimination and regardless of ability to pay. In all ways, Williamson’s beginning was driven by the desire to provide care, to show compassion, to help neighbors. That desire is still a guiding principle today.

Our 50-year history is a convergence of the science and sensitivity of health care. With that, Williamson Medical Center rivals the much larger facilities that surround us. There have been-and continue to be-physicians, administrators and staff who spend every day working to be sure the people in their community receive the care they need, when they need it.

Williamson Medical Center offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services, 24-hour emergency care, preventive health screenings and wellness activities. Services offered by Williamson Medical Center are developed to provide the most cost-effective, convenient and accessible health care possible. More than 500 outstanding physicians represent 36 medical specialties. The caliber of physicians and care at Williamson Medical Center offers patients a level of expertise and sophistication one expects to find at larger facilities, but with the compassion and convenience unique to smaller hospitals.

Williamson Medical Center’s dedication to quality and standards of excellence has earned the hospital full accreditation by The Joint Commission. Accreditation also has been given to the Medical Center’s Laboratory by the College of American Pathologists; to the mammography program by the American College of Radiology; and to the diabetes education program by the American Diabetes Association. Williamson Medical Center’s Emergency Medical Services holds the highest rating possible from the Tennessee Department of Health.
