An application review document for a Certificate of Need (CON) for Sumner Regional Medical Center (Highpoint Health โ€“ Sumner with Ascension Saint Thomas) details a proposal to establish an acute care hospital by relocating 16 licensed acute care beds and adding a 4-bed ICU to the Highpoint Health โ€“ Sumner Station campus in Gallatin, TN. The document states that the host hospital and FSED (Highpoint Health โ€“ Sumner Station) were owned by Lifepoint Health until a joint venture was formed in 2023 between Lifepoint Health and Ascension Saint Thomas, resulting in the current ownership structure. The project, with a cost of $19,697,000, aims to allow patients to remain at Sumner Station for inpatient care, reduce EMS bypasses, and improve access to health services in southeastern Sumner County due to increasing traffic congestion and population growth. It also seeks to decompress the main Sumner Regional Medical Center campus, which is experiencing capacity constraints. The applicant states the project will be bed neutral for Sumner County by shifting existing licensed beds. The project is expected to take approximately 16 months from CON approval to implement and is projected to open in January 2027. The document mentions that patients have the right to a timely notice prior to termination of eligibility for reimbursement of any third-party payer for the cost of care, and that patients can file a quality of care concern with their insurance company.

Lifepoint Health and Ascension Saint Thomas are expanding their Highpoint Health joint venture in Middle Tennessee to include two new facilities: Southern Tennessee Regional Health System (STRHS) โ€“ Winchester and Southern Tennessee Regional Health System (STRHS) โ€“ Sewanee. These two legacy Lifepoint Health sites of care, located in Southeastern Tennessee, will join the Highpoint Health System joint venture, which is jointly owned and operated by Lifepoint Health and Ascension Saint Thomas. Highpoint Health currently includes Highpoint Health โ€“ Sumner and Highpoint Health โ€“ Sumner Station in Gallatin, Highpoint Health โ€“ Trousdale in Hartsville, and Highpoint Health โ€“ Riverview in Carthage, along with more than 15 affiliated clinics and sites of care. William Haugh, president, Central Division, Lifepoint Health, expressed excitement about adding these facilities to the joint venture, noting their critical role in providing services locally and the success of the Highpoint Health partnership in strengthening access to services and specialists. Fahad Tahir, president and CEO of Ascension Saint Thomas, stated that this expansion is an important step in enhancing healthcare access for the communities served, and that joining Highpoint Health will provide STRHS-Winchester and STRHS-Sewanee with greater access to Ascension Saint Thomas' nationally recognized clinical expertise and specialty services. The Winchester and Sewanee hospitals will be majority-owned and operated by Lifepoint Health and co-branded with Ascension Saint Thomas. Their current leadership teams will remain in place, with no significant changes anticipated for employees, and the facilities will be renamed Highpoint Health โ€“ Winchester and Highpoint Health โ€“ Sewanee.
