Who are we?

The Citizens for Spring Hill Hospital (CFSHH), a voluntary grassroots advocacy group, organized to promote the proposed Spring Hill Hospital in May of 2006. The CFSHH is comprised of young parents, retirees, business professionals and local officials residing in both Maury and Williamson Counties. The CFSHH's efforts are funded entirely by individual member donations and our volunteers generously donate their time in hopes of the Spring Hill Hospital becoming a reality.

Purpose

The group formed to counter opposition of the Spring Hill Hospital by the Commissions of both Williamson and Maury counties. The CFSHH procured 10,250 signatures from Maury and Williamson County residents in support of the proposed Spring Hill Hospital in 2006, through a mass petition drive throughout both counties. Still today, in 2008, the group continues to wage a public awareness campaign throughout Williamson and Maury Counties, to expose the truth surrounding the opposition of the Spring Hill Hospital.

The Citizen's Position

As parents, grandparents, home and business owners, we have all witnessed unprecedented growth in our community in recent years. Traffic delays traveling north (to Franklin) or South (to Columbia) are a daily occurrence in our lives, due to the exponential commercial and residential growth within Spring Hill in recent years.

Simply stated, our fundamental reasoning for supporting the Spring Hill Hospital is based upon:

• The overriding need for convenient access to quality emergency healthcare for our children and loved ones;
• The belief that proactive planning, rather than reactive planning , is essential to stay in step with the City's current and future growth;
• The positive impact a quality healthcare facility will mean to the Spring Hill community as well as Maury and Williamson counties in terms of job opportunities, property and sales tax revenue and quality of life enhancements;
• The fundamental belief that economic development within a neighboring city should not be fought using taxpayer dollars that could be better spent to enhance existing public healthcare facilities, or to fund other essential county services or programs.
• A free and competitive market where multiple healthcare providers exist, will ultimately translate to more choices for consumers and patients, mean increased customer service standards at all provider facilities, and could ultimately lower healthcare costs for everyone.
