 A Tennessee Children’s Hospital Has Been Renamed After Dolly Parton


Dolly Parton has officially partnered with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville, which will now carry her name as the Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital. 


Established in 1937 and operating as a nonprofit since 1952, the hospital is recognized as a Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center and serves as the leading provider of pediatric care in the region. 


With more than 400 physicians and nearly 2,200 staff members, it treats infants, children, and teens regardless of background or financial means, averaging over 435,000 patient visits each year.


Parton emphasized her lifelong connection to East Tennessee, saying that growing up in the mountains taught her the importance of caring for one another. 


She expressed that every child deserves exceptional medical care delivered with compassion and love, and she sees her involvement as a way to bring hope and healing to families. 


Hospital CEO Matt Schaefer noted that this collaboration represents more than a name change, describing it as a strengthened mission to ensure world-class pediatric care for every child who enters the facility.


Although the financial details of Parton’s contribution were not disclosed, hospital leaders described the partnership as transformative for generations to come. 


Parton encouraged the public to support the hospital through donations, stressing that collective effort can achieve limitless outcomes for children. 


Her dedication to children’s wellbeing is longstanding through initiatives like the Dollywood Foundation, the Imagination Library, her children’s book Coat of Many Colors, and her album I Believe in You, she has consistently invested in education, literacy, and joy for young people.
