In 1928 several prominent Greenevillians persuaded Dr Harry Miller of Washington Sanitarium in Takoma Park Md to open a facility in Greeneville Tenn That contact initiated a partnership between Greene County and what would become a hospital committed to helping people achieve physical mental and spiritual wholeness Dr Miller brought a colleague Dr Leroy Coolidge to Greeneville several times to treat patients at Mr And Mrs Roy Bowens hydrotherapy treatment center on Main Street Soon Dr Coolidge purchased the Bowens facility and renamed it Takoma Park

From those modest beginnings what would become Takoma Regional Hospital was born and grew expanding and adding new services and technology in order to remain a stateoftheart facility In 1978 the original Hospital and Sanitarium was razed and Takoma Regional Hospital was built Now a 7 million project to add a surgical suite and a new facade is underway
