TriStar Lebanon 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 Lebanon, if a patient needs a higher level of care, transportation will be arranged to provide a seamless transition to TriStar Summit 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 Middle Tennessee for over 50 years, and we look forward to expanding our ability to serve Wilson County residents.

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 TDOT to ensure the proper steps are taken so that traffic won’t be an issue.

TriStar Summit 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.

TriStar Summit already operates several healthcare locations in Wilson County including TriStar Mt. Juliet ER and TriStar Summit Imaging locations in Lebanon and Mt. Juliet. TriStar Mt. Juliet ER has seen growing demand with more than 22,700 patient visits in 2024. An additional ER location in Wilson County will provide a more convenient location for Lebanon patients who are currently driving to TriStar Mt. Juliet ER for care. In addition, TriStar Summit has invested in a CareNow Urgent Care and the Centennial Women’s Group physician practice in Lebanon.
