## Resource

Williamson County Commissioners have greenlit a historic $1 billion deal to sell Williamson Health to Ascension Saint Thomas, despite fierce public outcry and an ongoing state investigation into patient safety failures. The move, originally slated for 2025, was accelerated by new state legislation allowing hospital transfers over $500 million. Critics warn the decision was rushed, citing mislabeled syringes and dangerous medical errors that left patients paralyzed. While some staff, like Dr. Oscar Mendez, express confidence in Ascension’s leadership, residents demand more time to ensure due diligence. Two key resolutions were approved: one authorizing a non-binding intent letter with Ascension, and another paving the way for asset transfer. The final vote won’t happen until November — but this could be the biggest financial move in county history. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
