Dr. Pooja Patel Highlights Urgent Need For Local Emergency Room In White House
WHITE HOUSE, TENNESSEE (Smokey Barn News) – For Dr. Pooja Patel, every minute matters in the emergency room. As an emergency medicine physician at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, Dr. Patel sees firsthand the importance of quick access to medical care in life-threatening situations.
From heart attacks and strokes to severe injuries, Dr. Patel and her team at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat emergencies with speed and precision. But as the population continues to grow in White House and the surrounding areas, she believes it’s time to bring those critical services closer to home.
“The need for emergency care doesn’t wait,” Dr. Patel said. “When you’re facing something as serious as a heart attack or major trauma, every second counts. That’s why having an emergency room in White House is so important—it brings lifesaving care right to the community.”
Dr. Patel’s decades-long experience in emergency medicine has given her a deep understanding of just how vital proximity is when it comes to emergency care. She’s seen patients’ lives hang in the balance, and quick intervention often makes all the difference.
Having a freestanding emergency room in White House would mean patients could receive timely treatment without having to travel to Hendersonville or other facilities farther away.
“When the unexpected happens, having access to quality care provided by experienced emergency experts is vitally important,” Dr. Patel explained. “We’ve been serving this community for years at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, building trust with patients and providing top-tier emergency care. Our priority is to serve our community with expedited emergency services in terms of evaluation and treatment.”
“As White House continues to grow, it’s vital that we expand our reach to meet the increasing demand—something TriStar Health is uniquely positioned to do with our longstanding history of quality service and established presence in this region.”
Dr. Patel is a passionate advocate for TriStar Health’s proposed emergency room in White House, a facility she believes would not only improve healthcare access but also strengthen the community.
“White House residents already trust TriStar Health for their medical care. Almost eight in ten emergency visits from this area are to TriStar Health facilities, and it’s time we make that care even more accessible.”
The proposed emergency room, she noted, would help ease the burden on families during critical moments. “Whether it’s a child with a high fever, someone experiencing chest pain, or a serious injury, families shouldn’t have to worry about traveling long distances to get care.
“Having a local ER means they can receive immediate treatment, giving them peace of mind during some of the most stressful times. Bringing this facility to White House will make a real difference in our community.”
