Renowned Cardiologist Highlights Life-Saving Importance of Proposed White House ER
WHITE HOUSE, TENNESSEE (Smokey Barn News) – With plans drawn for a freestanding emergency room in White House, Dr. Tracy Q. Callister, a leading cardiologist and founder of Tennessee Heart and Vascular in Hendersonville, is lending his voice to the growing support for accessible emergency care.
For Dr. Callister, whose expertise lies in interventional cardiology, the need for quick access to life-saving cardiac treatment is particularly urgent. As a part of TriStar Health, Tennessee Heart and Vascular has served countless patients from White House and surrounding communities for over forty years. Dr. Callister believes that placing an emergency room closer to these patients could mean the difference between life and death for those experiencing cardiac emergencies.
“Minutes matter, especially when it comes to heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular emergencies,” said Dr. Callister. “Getting prompt treatment can drastically improve outcomes for patients.”
Dr. Callister, who is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases and is an internationally recognized leader in cardiac imaging, has dedicated his career to advancing heart health in the Middle Tennessee region. His experience treating patients in the region has made him acutely aware of the need for emergency services tailored to heart patients. He pointed out that almost eight in ten White House residents already rely on TriStar Health for their emergency care, making the proposed ER a natural next step in delivering that trusted care closer to home.
“The fact that almost eight in 10 in of local ER visits are to TriStar Health facilities shows the confidence this community has in our system,” Dr. Callister said. “Building a freestanding ER here would bring that care to their doorstep, reducing the critical time it takes for heart attack and stroke patients to reach us.”
As the White House area continues to grow, Dr. Callister believes it’s more important than ever to ensure that local healthcare infrastructure keeps pace. He sees the new ER as a vital resource not just for heart patients but for the entire community.
“Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Tennessee, and many of those deaths could be prevented with faster access to care,” said Dr. Callister. “Bringing this ER to White House is about giving residents a fighting chance—whether it’s heart disease, a stroke, or another life-threatening condition, timely treatment saves lives.”
The need for emergency care goes beyond just cardiovascular issues, but as one of the region’s leading cardiologists, Dr. Callister is particularly passionate about ensuring that heart patients have access to the best possible care as quickly as possible.
“For patients in White House and the surrounding areas, this new ER represents peace of mind,” he added. “It means knowing that no matter the time or the emergency, help will be close by, with TriStar Health’s trusted care standing ready.”
