Following a substantial renovation project, Williamson Medical Center unveiled its updated West Tower to the community on Tuesday, a celebratory event graced by country star Luke Bryan and his wife Caroline. The couple, residing a stone's throw from the facility, participated in the ceremonial ribbon-cutting as the center showcased the expansion of the facility located on Carothers Parkway. Caroline Bryan spearheaded the event as the campaign co-chair, with Luke Bryan contributing as the honorary co-chair to the renovation's fundraising effort, which was primarily financed through the center's "More For You. Close To Home" campaign.
Named the Boyer-Bryan tower in tribute to the couple and the Brett Boyyer Foundation, the expansion serves as a monument to their commitment and efforts in raising funds for the medical center. According to WSMV, Luke Bryan expressed pride in their association with a facility "that will change lives, start lives and extend lives." The project kicked off two years ago, culminating in a final tally of $189 million in construction and renovation costs.
Amidst the pomp of the ribbon-cutting, the Bryans weren't the only highlight of the day. The community event included a slew of family-friendly activities, facility tours, and complimentary food. Adding a personal touch to the celebration, newborns at the medical center were adorned in handcrafted physician and nurse outfits by Bizzy Bee Crochet, paying homage to the healthcare professionals serving patients in the updated spaces. These images were released prior to the event as a touching nod to the ongoing legacy of care at Williamson Medical Center.
The renovation is more than just a structural facelift; it stands as a sign of gratitude, honoring the hard work put in by the Bryans, as reported by NewsChannel 5. A dedicated sign with the Bryans' names was also unveiled, symbolizing the community's recognition of their dedication. According to The Tennessean, Williamson Health leadership, elected officials, and the Bryan family were present during the event to discuss the facility's future, ensuring the expansion's impact resonates beyond the immediate celebratory affair.
