The full story

Beau Butler, chair of the Williamson Health board of trustees, told the Williamson County Board of Commissioners on July 14 that the hospital board will begin a comprehensive strategic process that includes issuing a request for proposals to evaluate potential partners while continuing to explore ways to remain independent.

We're fulfilling our responsibility to explore all options."
