Dr. David Gregory passes a note in Belmont Church reflecting his dream for a faith-based, volunteer-supported clinic that would provide affordable, high-quality health care to Nashville’s most medically vulnerable. 

With seed money from Belmont Church, Siloam transforms two small apartments in the Edgehill neighborhood off 12th Avenue South into a clinic seeing patients once a week. 

Siloam becomes a medical refuge for native Nashvillians and the growing immigrant community alike, adding language interpreters to our volunteer base to meet the demand. 

Siloam hires our first full-time employee, Nancy West, who would go on to become our first President and CEO – faithfully serving in this position for nearly 20 years.

Siloam opens the doors of a brand-new clinic located in what is now known as the Melrose area of Nashville.

Siloam formalizes student education programs to train the next generation of health professionals in the art of whole-person care.  

Siloam launches community health initiatives to address the social determinants of health that affect our immigrant patients in their own communities.

Siloam Health opens its first satellite clinic – Siloam Health Antioch – to broaden our capacity to provide whole-person care to underserved communities in one of Nashville’s regions hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Siloam’s COVID-19 response efforts were highlighted by a partnership with Metro Public Health Department (MPHD) designed to hire and train Community Health Workers.
