Cookeville Regional Medical Center

What Cookeville Regional Medical Center does

Cookeville Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a non-profit, independent regional acute-care hospital headquartered in Cookeville, Tennessee, founded in 1921 and operating with 1,001-5,000 employees. It serves as the primary referral medical center for the Upper Cumberland 14-county region, providing care to a patient base of approximately 337,000 individuals and operating 30+ distinct service lines including emergency, surgical, oncology, cardiac, orthopedic, bariatric, stroke, and women's health services, plus home health, urgent care, and telemedicine channels.

CRMC's clinical footprint rests on differentiated technology investments: a Da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system operated through the Tennessee Robotic Institute (named a regional Epicenter for Robotic Surgery), the only endoscopic ultrasound and breast MRI capability in Upper Cumberland, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Aquablation therapy for BPH, a College of American Pathologists-accredited clinical laboratory running over 1.5 million tests annually, and a pharmacy automation platform with a PGY-1 residency program. The hospital maintains stacked external accreditations — Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center, MBSAQIP Comprehensive Bariatric Center, Joint Commission Advanced Hip/Knee Replacement, ACR Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, and AASM-accredited Sleep Center — that anchor referral patterns.

Revenue is generated through patient care services billed to commercial insurance, government payers, and self-pay, supplemented by participation in the federal 340B drug pricing program. Distribution is direct-to-patient via the main Cookeville campus, nine satellite locations in Cookeville covering urgent care, imaging, breast center, gastroenterology, heart, sleep, wound care, and rehab, plus home health across the region and telehealth services (telepsychiatry via QLER plus virtual cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and neurology). The organization is private and non-system-affiliated, with strategic alliances rather than ownership ties to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and Encompass Health; subsidiaries include Cookeville Regional Charitable Foundation and CRMG Cardiology.

Broad incumbents

• Vanderbilt University Medical Center: Major academic medical center in Nashville that serves as CRMC's tertiary referral partner and the exclusive provider of oncology services on CRMC's campus via Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Overlaps with CRMC in cancer care, cardiology, and complex surgical services but operates at a much larger scale across Middle Tennessee.
• AdventHealth: Large non-profit health system with Tennessee operations, providing comparable acute care, specialty surgical, and outpatient services at multiple sites. Relevant peer for benchmarking non-profit community-hospital operating models against CRMC's independent structure.
• Ascension Saint Thomas: Tennessee-based regional health system within Ascension, operating multiple hospitals across Middle Tennessee including Nashville-area facilities. Competes with CRMC for specialty referrals and offers comparable cardiology, oncology, and surgical service lines at larger-system scale.

Comparable regional acute-care and specialty footprint to CRMC but at materially larger system scale.
