When you think about it, this was a long time coming. World famous philanthropist/entrepreneur/occasional country singer Dolly Parton now has her own children’s hospital. It’s not a new hospital; as a result of the partnership Dolly has with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, the facility has now been renamed “Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital.” In a video on Instagram yesterday, Dolly praised the staff, noting the hospital’s 90 year commitment to the health and welfare of children. In a statement, hospital CEO Matt Schaefer says, “With Dolly’s support, we are strengthening our mission to deliver world-class pediatric care to families.” For more information on the rebrand and what the hospital does, see its website: DollyChildrens.org.
