Due to lack of power, some residents lost needed medication that needed to remain refrigerated, such as insulin. Nashville General Hospital has set up a clinic today from 10am to 2pm to assist residents in obtaining their medications. I’m always thankful for NGH and its long standing relationship with the Minority Caucus and its commitment to the community. Thank you to Interim CEO Dr. Veronica Elders and her staff.

If you have any questions about logistics for the clinic, please reach out to me at 615-669-4390.

Here are the details:

When patients arrive at Nashville General Hospital, please enter through the main entrance and follow the signs for the Internal Medicine Clinic. Continue straight down the main hallway. Near the pharmacy, you’ll see an opening—turn left, and you’ll find the clinic’s front desk, where our staff will assist you with check-in.

Please let the front desk know that you are here to see Lisa Bolton.

Parking is available in the garage across the street from the hospital. Please be sure to bring your parking ticket with you to the clinic so our front desk staff can validate your parking.

To help your check-in go smoothly, please bring your photo ID, insurance card, and a current list of medications you are taking.
