1. The quarterly "Breakfast with the Mayors" event organized by Franklin Tomorrow is coming up at the end of April. This quarter, the breakfast will focus on healthcare in Williamson County.

First, the Williamson Medical Center plans to strengthen its healthcare offerings, and second, The Williamson County Health Department, St. Thomas Ascension, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) recently completed a community assessment that will better help address community health needs.
