Saint Thomas Regional Hospitals

Saint Thomas Regional Hospitals, a Nashville, Tennessee-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, acts exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants, with no direct prime contract or grant relationships with federal agencies. The organization received 34 federal grant sub-awards, all dated September 1, 2022, totaling $5 million in obligated dollars under the NSGP (Nursing Student Loan Repayment Program) across two hospital facilities — Ascension Hospital and Midtown — as a subordinate awardee beneath a prime grant recipient.

The entire federal footprint consists of sub-recipient nursing workforce-development grants flowing through a single prime grantee during 2022, with no subsequent awards recorded in the source data. The award structure reflects a healthcare workforce-support model in which Saint Thomas Regional Hospitals participated as a pass-through sub-awardee, likely managing nursing loan-repayment disbursements or related clinical workforce retention work at its two named hospital locations. No contract vehicles, procurement IDIQs, GWACs, or schedule positions appear in the source. The vendor does not compete for federal prime contracts and has not positioned itself on any government-wide acquisition instruments.

The lack of activity beyond the 2022 sub-award cohort, the single-year concentration, the absence of prime relationships, and the sub-only structure indicate that Saint Thomas Regional Hospitals operates in a highly specialized, compliance-driven healthcare grant role rather than as a federal contractor or grant prime. For federal contractor business-development purposes, the organization represents neither a teaming opportunity on federal contract vehicles nor a significant prime customer base; it functions as a healthcare provider receiving pass-through federal nursing-workforce funds.
