Cookeville Regional Medical Center

Cookeville Regional Medical Center is celebrating 100 years in 2021. It began as a 15 bed private clinic built by a local surgeon in 1921 and has grown to a 269 bed regional center on a 55-acre campus serving more than 400,000 residents in the Upper Cumberland region of middle Tennessee. With almost 200 physicians in 40 different medical and surgical specialties, CRMC offers patients here the same kind of care that they could expect in a larger metropolitan area including specialty care such as cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, pulmonology, cancer treatment, orthopedics, physical rehabilitation and neurosurgery.
