With all due respect I jumped for joy when I saw this. I am an active Mayo patient now.. meaning I am still seeing a Mayo MD for a specific heath issue pertaining to the issues here on Mayo Connect. Mayo Connect has been amazing in my making progress there. However, I am located in a very distant home base seeing local physicians for various reasons over the years. In general, I am finding more and more if you see a specialist and ask a question outside of their practice area, in general. they make it very clear they cannot respond. The question becomes: "how do you find quality care in other specialty areas within a practical distance from home base?" or even what was once called a GP? I just accessed Health Locator. I input Nashville, TN where I also see a specialist with the same experience. Response from Health Locator within 25 miles was ; "no hospital found; may be not within minimum population" Vanderbilt Health Care is in Nashville as well as other medical facilities" .. would appreciate your feedback. in working with the Health Locator.

@joaf37, you're right, there are a number of excellent medical facilities in Nashville, TN, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt Health. There may be a number of reasons that Vanderbilt didn't appear in the search results according to the filters you used. I see it listed by state here: https://www.healthlocator.org/state/tn

As the HealthLocator rolls out more specialities will be added and improvements made to the app. Should you wish to provide feedback, please contact the team using this email info@healthlocator.org
