History
Under the guidance of Dr Cleo M Miller and a dedicated staff Nashville Rehabilitation Hospital NRH came into existence in 1937 The hospital kept pace with the advancement in medical science and health needs of a rapidly growing city Additional facilities were added in the mid1960s and early 1970s to arrive at the current patient capacity

In the late 1970s the hospital was a thriving general acute care facility with four surgical suites and a new emergency pavilion The hospital was supported by Miller Medical Group once a 30 physician multispecialty group located on the adjoining property In 1980 the hospital name changed from Miller to Edgefield reflecting one of the oldest and most historic areas of Nashville The name change was an attempt to enhance the distinction between the clinic and the hospital as separate business operations

Ownership of the hospital changed hands from Hospital Corporation of America to HealthTrust Inc in 1987 and to a partnership between ReLife Inc and Miller Medical Group in 1990 During this time Edgefield underwent renovations that included the opening of a 28bed rehabilitation unit The addition of rehab beds and capital improvements once again illustrated the commitment of Edgefield and Miller Medical Group to meeting the evolving health care needs of Middle Tennessee

In 1992 the name was changed to Nashville Rehabilitation Hospital to show primary focus on rehabilitation at a time when emergency surgical and medical bed services were being limited NRH began the process of resale in 1995 as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission when ReLife was acquired by HealthSouth Corporation The sale of the hospital was completed to private investors in 1996

In 1998 12 medical beds were converted to geriatric psychiatric use when the Bridges program was started Then in 2000 six medical beds were converted to rehabilitation use to accommodate the demand for private rooms

Psychiatric Solutions Inc purchased the hospital in December 2006 and obtained a certificate of need to construct an 80bed behavioral hospital in Williamson County Following the opening of the new facility in Williamson County 80 beds will be delicensed from NRH leaving 31 rehabilitation beds
