This season, we asked our Harris and Swain team members what they’re most thankful for — family and health were common themes as we came together to celebrate during our holiday meal in Franklin. 🤍

Our staff show up each day with compassion, dedication, and heart, caring for our communities and one another.

We’re thankful for the people who make our hospitals feel like family and for the health that allows us to serve. Wishing our teams and community a season filled with gratitude and togetherness.
