As one of the fastest growing counties in Tennessee and in the country Rutherford Countys population is projected to increase 37 this decade growing to almost a quarter of a million people by 2010 Located at the center of the areas strongest growth it will be convenient to most residents And because it is less than eight miles from the interstate 840 loop the hospital is accessible to residents of nearby Williamson and Wilson counties
