Luke Bryan and his family are the proud financial backers of a new hospital wing at Williamson Medical Center in Franklin, Tenn. While that doesn’t mean the country singer will be the doctor at your next visit, it does mean more medical care options are now available for those in the area.

The hospital held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly-minted Boyer-Bryan West Tower earlier this summer. Bryan’s family are primary donors of the project, as is the Brett Boyer family and Foundation. Both the Boyer and Bryan families were on hand for the momentous occasion.

Luke Bryan’s History with the Williamson Medical Center

Bryan and his wife Caroline have been supporters of the hospital for years. After all, both of their children were born in that facility. In addition, the Bryans served as co-chairs of the campaign to construct and renovate the new wing.

“Williamson Medical Center has played a significant role in our lives,” Bryan says in a statement. “Our children were born here, and we’ve been in the emergency room more times than we can count. To be able to play a part in this transformational project was a no-brainer for us. We love this hospital, its talented and compassionate staff, and everything the Williamson Health system does for our community.”

“For a few years now, you’ve heard us proudly support Williamson Health and the many services it offers to not only us, but each of you — and our neighbors, friends and family. We feel blessed to be part of a community that has everything we want in terms of ‘small town life’ but that also had a high-quality and compassionate healthcare that retains a hometown feel,” Caroline adds.

What is The Brett Boyer Foundation?

The Brett Boyer Foundation was started by Caroline’s sister Ellen Boyer and her husband Bo. After losing their infant daughter Sadie Brett due to a congenital heart defect, the couple wanted to raise awareness, offer education and fund future research about the condition.
