On May 3, the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame announced seven health care professionals selected as this year’s inductee class, three of whom have close ties to Vanderbilt.
With a mission to honor men and women who have made significant and lasting contributions to the health and health care industries, the Hall of Fame was created in 2015 by Belmont University, the McWhorter Society and the Nashville Health Care Council, a founding partner. The honorees will be inducted at a ceremony in October.
The 2018 inductees include Monroe Carell Jr., former CEO of Nashville-based Central Parking Corporation and a prominent philanthropist who led efforts to establish the freestanding Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt; William Schaffner, MD, professor of Preventive Medicine, Department of Health Policy, and professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases; and Carol Etherington, MSN, RN, associate professor of Nursing, emerita.
