CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Ascension Saint Thomas is breaking ground today on a new hospital campus in Clarksville, bringing nearly $150 million in healthcare investment to one of the fastest growing areas in the state.
The facility will sit on 96 acres near the intersection of Highway 76 and Interstate 24 in Montgomery County.
The hospital will open with 44 inpatient beds and offer emergency care, inpatient surgery, cardiology, and maternity services. The project will also include a Montgomery County EMS station and unite several medical partners.
The development is expected to create about 250 jobs and expand emergency care access in the area.

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.”
