Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sumner Regional Medical Center’s top priority as a healthcare provider and community leader has been to protect the health and safety of our patients, employees and community. During the pandemic, we have been incredibly grateful to receive numerous donations of face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) from generous community partners and neighbors. We are pleased to be able to give back to our community by donating special Sumner Regional Medical Center cloth face masks to Vol State Community College. This organization has been a valued partner for us in a number of ways through the pandemic/through the years, including our wonderful relationship with their Allied Health Department. It is our hope that this donation will help Vol State's students/employees stay safe and protect themselves and others on the job and when out and about in our community.

Tennessee, we're headed in the wrong direction. Please help your healthcare providers slow the spread of Covid-19. Wear a Mask, Wash your Hands, Watch your Distance. Wear a mask whenever you're in public, they prevent droplets from spreading to others if you're an unknown carrier of the virus. Don't pull down your mask to talk, don't wear your mask on your chin, don't leave your nose exposed. Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Soap and warm water will kill the virus! Watch your distance: Avoid large crowds and gatherings, and when you must be around others - stay at least 6 feet apart. Wave when greeting others instead of shaking hands. #maskingmakesadifference #sumnercountytn #covid19 #gallatintn Tennessee Department of Health November 4 at 2:00 PM · The total COVID-19 case count for Tennessee is 269,802 as of November 4, 2020 including 3,478 deaths, 1,537 current hospitalizations and 240,587 inactive/recovered.
