TriStar East Nashville ER

A freestanding emergency room operates as a stand-alone ER not physically connected to a hospital for those experiencing a medical emergency, but who may live too far from a traditional emergency room. Like a traditional emergency room, a freestanding ER offers life-saving treatment and diagnostic care. In East Nashville, if a patient needed a higher level of care, transportation will be arranged to provide a seamless transition to TriStar Skyline Medical Center or a hospital of the patients choosing.

None of the funding will come out of your pocket. TriStar Health is a tax-paying entity that partners with charitable organizations and local groups in an effort to give back to the community. We have been a part of Nashville for over 50 years, and we look forward to expanding our ability to serve East Nashville’s historic neighborhoods.

The heavy traffic sometimes associated with a traditional hospital emergency room won’t be a concern here. Freestanding emergency rooms are smaller facilities and don’t substantially increase traffic. However, we will work with NDOT to ensure the proper steps are taken so that traffic won’t be an issue.

TriStar Health is committed to being a good neighbor and not disrupting the community with unnecessary noise. Sirens from vehicles coming to this freestanding ER will often not be used when transporting a patient. Most ambulances don’t use lights and sirens when heading to the emergency room, lights and sirens are reserved for responses to potential emergencies and transporting patients with life-threatening conditions.

Our freestanding ERs accept all patients, regardless of insurance plan. No one will ever be turned away from a TriStar Health freestanding ER. We pride ourselves in treating all community members closer to where they live and work.

Yes. TriStar Health looks forward to engaging and speaking to community residents and business owners. If you would like more information on our upcoming meetings, contact Chris Divelbiss at (404) 263-5525.
