NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — East Tennessee Children’s Hospital is officially changing it's name to Dolly Parton Children's Hospital.
The announcement was made via a video on the hospital's website on Thursday.
"I am so honored to support these doctors and nurses and their team members and volunteers who show up every day with courage and kindness," she said in the video. "I hope that you'll join me in supporting this work. I can't do it all myself. I'm going to need you. So when we come together for our children, there's no limit to what we can do."
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
