CEO Message
Thank you for visiting the online home of Parkridge East Hospital, a facility of Parkridge Medical Center. As a proud member of the Chattanooga area healthcare community for more than 35 years, our top priority has been, and will continue to be, striving to give each and every patient a singularly exceptional experience. Simply put, we are here for, and exist because of, you.
This is a remarkable time of growth for our facility, and we are striving to ensure Parkridge East continues to provide a personal look and feel while maintaining our commitment to leading-edge technology, patient safety, and clinical quality. Long regarded as a market leader in Obstetrics and Women’s Services, we continue to serve some of the region’s most critically ill infants in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Additionally, our newly-remodeled Labor & Delivery and Mother/Baby suites provide a truly ‘boutique’ feel for mothers-to-be and their families who seek a warm, highly personal environment in which to have their child.
We are also investing in our broader surgical, medical, and imaging services. In addition to recent upgrades to our Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suite, we have expanded our Outpatient Imaging hours of service to include weekends so that we can better meet your needs. Our full-service Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides additional clinical expertise to our dedicated medical and surgical floors – and our team of surgical professionals provides some of the area’s most experienced care across the full spectrum of surgical services, including General surgery, Orthopedics, and our newly launched Center for Robotic Surgery, where our two surgical robots allow our physicians and staff to provide a wide array of minimally invasive procedures.
With all our efforts, though, the single most important tool we have is the care, skill, and compassion of our staff in your moment of need. Please let us know if we can do anything to enhance your experience, and thank you for taking time to visit our ‘home’ on the internet.
In Service,
Jarrett Millsaps, FACHE
Chief Executive Officer
