Mental health remains a top concern in Williamson County Eort aims to mobilize resources, spur initiatives
FINDING HEALTH NEEDS Williamson County’s recent Community Health Needs Assessment, done every three years, surveyed residents about possible causes of community health challenges.
BY MARTIN CASSIDY
Mindy Tate, CEO of Franklin Tomor- row, a local nonprot that has been involved with helping guide the eort. Assessing health data Since 2013, nonprot hospitals have been required by the Aordable Care Act to conduct a CHNA every three years to preserve their tax-exempt sta- tus. The study gathers input from res- idents, local health departments and other agencies to develop initiatives to improve health. In February, a committee review- ing the data on the region’s health voted to designate Williamson Coun- ty’s four broad areas—mental health; aordable housing; healthy living and prevention; and substance misuse— as those most in need of community attention. “We provide some funds for organi- zations that work on the issues, but the biggest thing is just sitting at the table working collaboratively with every- one,” said Elisa Friedman, associate

Tackling mental health, aordable housing and other priorities are part of a joint eort between Williamson County and two area hospitals to com- prehensively address the area’s press- ing health needs. While data shows in some ways Wil- liamson County is one of the healthier areas in the state, health care ocials and others said the region faces an important need for dialogue in the areas of mental health awareness, expand- ing aordable housing and access to medical care, based on results of the Community Health Needs Assessment released this spring. The assessment, or CHNA, which began in May 2021, is being conducted jointly by Vanderbilt University Med- ical Center, Ascension St. Thomas Hospital and the county’s health department for the third time. “While we might be a healthy place, we’re not immune to the issues being faced around the state, around the country and around the world,” said

Franklin Special School District marks completion of new performing arts center and gymnasium
BY MARTIN CASSIDY
Grove Middle School. The facility includes 480 bleacher seats, multiple locker rooms, oces and a dedicated concessions area. “This is an important facility to provide enough space for physical education and sports activities,” Director of Schools David Snowden said. The building also includes the Legacy Gallery, a 650-square-foot
exhibit that showcases the district’s 116-year history. The exhibit has an interactive touch display table including interviews of former faculty and historic summaries. “It is moving to see people here being reminded of the district’s legacy,” Janet Cochran, the former principal of Johnson Elementary School said.
The Franklin Special School District on May 20 celebrated the completion of a new $15.9 million performing arts center for districtwide use and a new gym for Poplar Grove Elementary School students. More than a hundred people gathered for an afternoon ribbon cutting of the FSSD Performing Arts Center and the new gym, both at the northern end of the Poplar Grove campus at 2959 Del Rio Pike, Franklin. Current and former faculty, district students, and community and school board members toured the facilities after a brief ceremony. The opening of the district’s performing arts center will provide a much-improved venue for student musicians and actors to hone their skills as performers, board member Tim Stillings said. “Singers, songwriters, musicians, actors, aspiring public speakers….” Stillings said. “This is your space for your creative development. Use it now to one day astound us.” The 34,400-square-foot performing arts center includes a 484-seat auditorium for performances by students in band, choir and theater programs in the district’s eight schools serving grades K-8, ocials said. The auditorium also includes a 49-foot y loft and auxiliary spaces, such as changing rooms and prop storage areas. At the event, Janice Shelby, who served as the district’s director of schools from 1996-2001, said the FSSD has placed a long-standing emphasis on teaching “the whole child”. Shelby said in the 1990s, the FSSD was the rst district in Williamson County to oer all students music, art and physical education. “I think it speaks to the commitment of the Franklin Special School District to excellence in learning,” Shelby said. The new 22,800-square-foot gym for Poplar Grove Elementary School will give that school its own sports space after sharing a gym with Poplar
