Ascension Saint Thomas is Middle Tennessee's only faith-based, nonprofit healthcare system offering not only medical services, but also reverent care to those in need. Such service is made possible because of their outstanding doctors, nurses, and caregivers. It is essential that we keep our healthcare workers strong and supported so they can continue to fulfill the needs of our patients.

The Saint Thomas Health Foundation says, "We need your help."

A core function of their work in the Foundation is to support Saint Thomas employees in times of crisis. The current environment is causing levels of financial hardship among hospital employees that have not been seen before, according to the foundation in Murfreesboro.

Giving financial help is not an option right now for the majority of residents, but showing your support in a kind message - knowing that nurses, doctors and hospital staff are at the front line of battle against COVID-19 - is something we can all do!
