Erlanger started more than 130 years ago with a gift, born of a community's belief in what a hospital could mean for Chattanooga. That same belief is shaping our next chapter.

Erlanger earned seven awards for orthopaedics and spine surgery from Healthgrades.

Current renovations to Children’s Hospital at Erlanger are making way for a sensory-friendly, more welcoming space for the more than 80,000 children and families who walk through the doors each year.

The Erlanger Foundation proudly recognizes and thanks Miller Industries, the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Erlanger Children’s Classic Golf Invitational.

16,000 residents of Bledsoe County benefit from outstanding medical care close to home, thanks to a partnership between Erlanger and UT Health Sciences.

In July, Children’s officially celebrated the opening of Children’s Hospital Land of Enchantment (CHLOE), a vibrant outdoor healing space where patients and their families can step outside, play, explore, and just be kids.

In August, Dr. Cleopatra Thurman, vascular neurologist and Medical Director of Erlanger’s Stroke Program, helped lead Erlanger’s first INTERCEPT trial, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a permanent bilateral common carotid artery filter to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (A-Fib).

“Do you need a ride today? Where can I drive you?” That’s the greeting many patients hear when they visit Erlanger Baroness Hospital, and they’ve been hearing it for the past few decades from David Lee, an employee ambassador who just marked his 46^th year with the company.

Nancy Monroe and Claire Peacock met and became friends in the late 1980s when their kids played high school soccer together and briefly worked together at Chattanooga State for a time.
