With Williamson Medical Center’s Boyer-Bryan West Tower rising above the skyline, it’s clear that Williamson Health continues to elevate excellence in health care throughout Williamson County and beyond.

However, the recently completed West Tower is just one of many ways the regional health care system is growing to serve our rapidly expanding and thriving region. Over the last year, Williamson Health has celebrated numerous milestones that reflect its ongoing commitment to providing exceptional health care close to home.

Milestone 1: Celebrating the Boyer-Bryan West Tower

Completed last summer, the newly expanded Boyer-Bryan West Tower added three floors to the original structure, plus a new wing encompassing all six floors—totaling nearly 175,000 square feet and 134 new patient beds. It now includes a 35-bed ICU, 94 medical-surgical inpatient rooms and 10 pediatric inpatient rooms.

All part of the historic expansion and renovation project Williamson Medical Center launched in 2022, the tower also features a fully renovated and expanded obstetrics and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with 33 total patient rooms and nine private NICU bays, a spacious well-baby nursery, and three C-section rooms.

“Our goal is to provide top-tier care to all residents of Williamson County and the surrounding region,” says Phil Mazzuca, Williamson Health CEO. “This expansion plays a vital role in achieving that goal.”

The recent enhancements have already made a meaningful impact on patients from Williamson County and nearby areas. Since the grand opening of the Boyer-Bryan West Tower last June, Williamson Medical Center has seen a notable increase in patient volume, as well as its ability to care for more complex cases—close to home. The facility consistently receives high praise for its beautiful, spacious and thoughtfully designed new spaces.

Milestone 2: Elevating Cardiac Care

Williamson Health continues to expand access to advanced, high-quality heart care across the region and has earned recognition for clinical excellence in a wide range of cardiology services.

The cardiology department features cardiac specialists with extensive experience in prevention, intervention and heart failure. The health system also offers an evidence-based chest pain program, cardiac stress testing, an accredited cardiac rehab program, a pulmonary rehab program, and more.

In addition, the world-class Cardiac Center includes two state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization labs, an electrophysiology lab, and cutting-edge technologies that provide real-time, high-resolution imaging of the heart and blood flow.

Last May, Williamson Medical Center earned designation as a Primary Heart Attack Center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association—a certification recognizing the hospital’s rapid-response capabilities and dedication to improving heart health outcomes.

Milestone 3: Expanding Access to Exceptional Care

Williamson Health’s services now extend throughout the region, including the recent opening of its newest clinic location in Spring Hill. The clinic offers primary care and specialty services, a general health care walk-in clinic, and laboratory services. It also includes Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee orthopaedic urgent care, a physician’s clinic and physical therapy.

Spring Hill residents now benefit from access to advanced practice providers across a wide spectrum of health care needs, including orthopaedic injuries and conditions. The clinic is located at the corner of Port Royal and Duplex roads.

Milestone 4: Helping Patients Sleep a Little Easier

Serving patients since 1995, the Williamson Health Sleep Lab helps make better sleep possible for people across Williamson County and beyond. The nationally accredited lab recently added a fifth bedroom, allowing board-certified sleep physicians to see more patients each month.

Along with fresh cosmetic upgrades, such as new furnishings, lighting and bedding, the lab now features state-of-the-art sleep study equipment and expanded in-home testing capabilities.

Milestone 5: Delivering Hope

Reflecting Williamson Health’s commitment to specialized care close to home, the Williamson Health Medical Group recently welcomed maternal-fetal specialists Chelsea Clinton, M.D., and Michael DeRoche, M.D., to its growing provider team.

Board-certified in both obstetrics-gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine, Drs. Clinton and DeRoche offer comprehensive care for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies and their unborn babies.

High-risk pregnancies involve increased risk of complications before, during or after birth, often due to maternal conditions such as hypertension or autoimmune disorders, or fetal issues like growth restriction. These specialists collaborate with a mother’s existing care team, tailoring individualized care plans—whether delivery is planned at Williamson Medical Center or elsewhere.

In addition to guiding families through high-risk pregnancies, the specialists also offer advanced gynecological imaging and maternal-fetal obstetrical imaging for both routine and complex pregnancies.

Looking Ahead

Williamson Health remains committed to expanding services and locations to meet the needs of our growing region. The health system now operates more than 30 locations and includes more than 860 physicians and advanced care practitioners across more than 60 specialties and subspecialties. WilliamsonHealth.org
