The Trust Company of Tennessee proudly supports causes that have a lasting impact in our region. Vice President of Marketing and Strategy Lindsay Cates and President Daniel Carter recently visited the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident Lounge at Dolly Parton Children's Hospital. Supported through an ongoing annual endowment, the dedicated space is available to residents throughout their demanding training.

The hospital’s GME program, established in partnership with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center’s Graduate School of Medicine, will welcome its inaugural class in July 2027. The program is designed to train and retain outstanding pediatric physicians in East Tennessee.

We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Children’s Hospital on such an impactful program.
