Certificate of Recognition: A Resolution Honoring
CareHere for Excellence in Employee Health Care
-Sumner County Board of County Commissioners, Sumner County, Tennessee
Letter of Recommendation
-Jeff Craig, Human Resources Director, Rutherford County, Tennessee
"Thanks for all you do to help us expand our services. I like working with CareHere.
All that I am hearing is so good. My Mother, sister, daughter and son-in-law are
employees of Sumner County and have used and love the program. They continue to
compliment Dr. Emerson."
-C.C., Sumner County, Tennessee
"I am a very strong supporter of CareHere Clinic and all of their professional staff.
I was one of the first from the Sheriff's Department to schedule the HRA (Health
Risk Assessment) Blood Draw. Thank God I did! My PSA was high which indicated the
possibility of cancer cells in the prostate. My CareHere Physician was adamant about
me making sure to do a follow up with my regular Urologist. I followed up with another
blood draw and thought I was OK since the levels were quite normal for my age. However,
when I went back to Care Here a few weeks later, they suggested another PSA check
was needed. And they were right. I went to another specialist, numerous tests were
run, and cancer cells were found in 1 of the 10 biopsies that were taken. I thank
God that this problem was found, identified, and treated early! I am expecting great
results when I got back to my Oncologist next month. Thank you CareHere for the
wonderful treatment, caring, and professional staff, and your excellent and thorough
diagnosis and follow-up."
