Sumner Regional Medical Center

What Sumner Regional Medical Center does

Sumner Regional Medical Center operates as Highpoint Health – Sumner with Ascension Saint Thomas, the flagship facility of a six-hospital regional health system serving Middle Tennessee. Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Gallatin, Tennessee, the system comprises Highpoint Health – Sumner (acute care, Gallatin), Riverview (Carthage), Trousdale (Hartsville), Sumner Station (Gallatin), Sewanee, and Winchester (Winchester). Together these facilities deliver a comprehensive acute-care service portfolio spanning 24/7 emergency medicine, inpatient and outpatient surgery, cancer care, cardiology (including cardiac catheterization and MRI), orthopedics, women's health (OB/GYN, midwifery, breast health), rehabilitation, imaging, laboratory, wound care, infusion, and home health/hospice. The system recently added bariatric surgery as a new service line.

The organization's parent affiliation is with Ascension Saint Thomas, a larger regional Catholic health system that provides specialty access, integrated care coordination, and shared clinical resources. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis across inpatient stays, outpatient procedures, diagnostic imaging, and specialty clinic visits, billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes an online Patient Portal (transitioning to a new platform effective April 16), an online Find-a-Doctor directory with scheduling, a Cost Estimator tool covering 70 CMS-designated services plus 230+ additional procedures, Good Faith Estimates for uninsured patients under the No Surprises Act, and a CMS-compliant Hospital Charges Listing. Third-party health-data access is enabled via integration with the MyLinks application. The volunteer arm, Friends of Highpoint Health – Sumner (a 501(c)(3)), fields approximately 40 community volunteers supporting patient-facing programs and fundraising. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across the system's six campuses, with marketing driven through health-education content, community classes, support groups, and a community volunteer program.
