East Tennessee Children’s Hospital has been renamed to Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital.

“Being fortunate to have grown up in the mountains of East Tennessee, I learned early on what it means to take care of one another,” shares Parton. “Every child deserves world-class care, wrapped in kindness and love. I’m so honored to stand alongside this hospital and do my part to help bring more hope, more comfort and more healing to children and families.”

After nearly 90 years since its opening, Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital will continue advancing its mission to improve the health and well-being of children through exceptional, comprehensive, family-centered care.

“This is more than a name change,” adds Matt Schaefer, President and CEO of Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital. “With Dolly’s support, we are strengthening our mission to deliver world-class pediatric care to families, ensuring every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.”
