A new era of men’s health has arrived in Chattanooga. 👏

Erlanger is the first health system in Chattanooga to offer Aquablation® therapy with the HYDROS™ Robotic System, an AI-powered technology designed to treat enlarged prostates (BPH) with precision and consistency.

This minimally invasive procedure uses real-time ultrasound guidance and robotic-assisted waterjet technology to target only the problematic tissue, helping patients find relief from symptoms while preserving quality of life.

We’re proud to expand access to advanced treatment options and bring the latest innovations in men’s health to our region.

We’re grateful to have been part of Partnership’s Baby Shower donation drive. 💙

Thanks to the support of donors, sponsors, and volunteers, the campaign surpassed its $5,000 goal, generating more than $6,700 in total impact for families served by the Domestic Violence Shelter.

This community effort will help provide essential items, safety, stability, and hope for parents and children as they begin a new chapter.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful initiative!

Last week, we said goodbye to a hero. Bruce "Snake" Crandall, the oldest living Medal of Honor recipient, passed away at the age of 93.

Colonel Crandall received the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Battle of la Drang in Vietnam, where he repeatedly flew his unarmed helicopter into battle, through intense enemy fire, delivering ammunition to fellow soldiers and returning the wounded to safety.

Last year, Erlanger was honored to provide 24/7 medical care to Col. Crandall and all of the Medal of Honor recipients at the Medal of Honor Celebration. We thank you for your service, Col. Crandall, and wish you well on your next mission.

Our Children's Miracle Network corporate partners are committed to make BIG CHANGE for all kids here in Chattanooga! Special thanks to Dairy Queen, Walmart, Sam's Club and Panda Express for their continued support of Children's Hospital at Erlanger. When you support these businesses this summer, 100% of funds raised stay local so kids can be treated right here at home.

As healthcare continues to evolve, improving access to specialized care remains a top priority. We're proud to be featured in Modern Healthcare's latest article on how health systems are building specialty pharmacy programs.

In this article, Erlanger President and CEO Jim Coleman discusses how our specialty pharmacy program is helping connect patients with the medications they need while supporting better outcomes across the communities we serve.
