The beautiful ambiance of The Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville will again provide a magnificent setting for one-on-one interaction between health system executive peers from across the country.
Things to do In Nashville from Southwind execs:
From Randy Gott, Southwind Senior Vice President:
For those attending the Southwind Institute who want to stay over on Friday evening – the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium is a real treat. The Ryman Auditorium is a short walk from the Hermitage Hotel. Any show at the Ryman is a slice of country music heaven. www.ryman.com
From John Deane, Southwind CEO:
For authentic bluegrass music near downtown you can't beat "The Station Inn" located in “The Gulch” on 12th Avenue North. Last time we dropped by, we wer in the front row for a "CD Release Party" for an unknown talent. BUT her friend Emmy Lou Harris joined her on stage for several songs. Across from us was Cowboy Jack Clement who recorded many songs for Johnny Cash. An amazing experience! www.stationinn.com
From Bob Vernon, Southwind Director of Development:
Having lived in several large cities I am impressed that, for a medium size city, Nashville has more great sporting events than most. On a nice fall Saturday, I like to grab a ticket to watch Vanderbilt’s football team which plays in the SEC. On the weekend of the Southwind Institute, Florida will be in town. The Vanderbilt stadium is small and so a great place to watch football. www.vanderbilt.edu
From Dick Wright, Southwind Senior Partner:
The new City House restaurant in the Germantown section of Nashville is outstanding. The chef has a limited menu of 7-8 entrees but each is innovative with generous portions and unique ingredients. With the kitchen open to the restaurant in a historic building, one can watch the creation in process. A real treat for the discriminating diner and within a price range that is very reasonable. www.cityhousenashville.com
