What Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital does

Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital (VWCH) is a community hospital located at 1411 West Baddour Parkway in Lebanon, Tennessee, and has operated as the sole provider of inpatient and outpatient medical services in Wilson County for more than 40 years since its founding around 1984. The hospital delivers a broad portfolio of clinical services across emergency and trauma care (operating the first and only Level III Trauma Center in Wilson County with 24/7/365 coverage), a designated Primary Stroke Center, an accredited Chest Pain Center, interventional cardiology, surgical services (more than 4,400 procedures annually), maternity care (more than 610 deliveries annually), neurology including an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, oncology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, nephrology, psychiatry, rehabilitation therapy (physical, occupational, and speech), and a Comprehensive Weight Loss Center. Patient-facing digital infrastructure consists of the My Health at Vanderbilt patient portal, supported by Epic-based electronic medical records shared across the Vanderbilt Health network, alongside medical records request workflows via third-party platforms (Swellbox, ChartSwap).

The hospital operates within the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) non-profit system, which encompasses seven hospitals and more than 180 clinics contributing nearly $1 billion in total community benefit and investment. VWCH employs more than 2,000 people, making it one of the largest employers in Wilson County. Revenue is generated through patient care services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers (Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare), and self-pay patients, with a financial assistance program that applies an Amounts Generally Billed (AGB) percentage of 17% — resulting in an 83% discount on facility charges for eligible patients. The hospital holds full Joint Commission and State of Tennessee accreditations, and received national recognition in August 2024 for its stroke care commitment. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with patients accessing services through the emergency department, scheduled appointments, physician referrals, and outpatient clinic locations throughout Wilson County.

• NorthCrest Medical Center: Community hospital in Springfield, TN, serving Robertson and northern Wilson counties. Comparable as a small community hospital competing for overlapping patient populations north of Nashville.
• Cookeville Regional Medical Center: Independent community hospital in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. Comparable as a non-metro regional referral hospital with similar service-line breadth and sole-provider dynamics for its catchment.

Direct peers
