107 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 WEST TENNESSEE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM “West Tennessee Healthcare (WTH) has been a donor and a supporter for over five decades of many area colleges. With many WTH facilities throughout West Tennessee serving as clinical affiliates for the Nursing program and programs within the Health Sciences. With its outreach efforts, the noted growth isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The healthcare system has several new projects in the works, including a new collaboration with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, based in Memphis. Le Bonheur is a large children’s specialty hospital that recently moved its service to a wing of Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. “We no longer have a pediatric unit, it is actually Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital that has the pediatric unit,” Garner says. “It’s really important to us to serve the children in the community that they live in, rather than those parents having to take their children to Memphis or Nashville.”
