Nashville General began as the 60-bed "City Hospital," the city's first full-fledged medical facility. It opened April 23, 1890, and was described at the time in a city report as a "model of architectural beauty." It cost $30,000. Each room had an iron bed and a chair. "Dumb waiters" hoisted food and supplies to the floors, while laundry chutes took away soiled sheets and pneumatic tubes helped the nurses send notes and charts. Horse-drawn ambulances rushed the injured or dying there. Its first five full months of operation produced $961 in revenue. Officials hoped for more during the winter months when local medical schools that helped support it - the University of Nashville and the University of Tennessee - would be in session. The first administrator, Dr. Charles Brower, quickly recognized a dire need for qualified nurses.
Today, Nashville General Hospital has grown into a robust healthcare delivery system, with a range of adult primary and specialty care services. Our commitment to Nashville remains unchanged, and we remain a steadfast symbol of hope - providing access to affordable, high-quality healthcare for all.
