I worked at a big Catholic hospital in Nashville for almost 30 years. In the 80's the nuns ran it, and it was one of the best hospitals in the city. 600 beds then, half that now, and fading.

It was impressive, especially since even the Mississippi was a big deal to me then. He grew up with it right in front of the picture window of the house. His extended family had a reunion at Villa Maria some years ago. It was a great place for that. Do they still have such events? It must be an expensive place to maintain.
