Ascension Saint Thomas Postponing Non-Urgent Elective Procedures and Operations

Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalization across Middle Tennessee, Ascension Saint Thomas will begin postponing all non-urgent elective procedures and operations effective immediately. They will be reallocating all available staffing resources to create additional capacity to care for the growing number of severely ill COVID patients. The vast majority of their in-patient hospitalizations continue to be unvaccinated individuals. They’re urging Middle Tennesseans to get vaccinated so that we can all put this pandemic behind us.
