Family Medicine is a field that specializes in complete care of family medical problems. Our physicians manage a variety of hospitalized patients, and possess the training, expertise, and technology to take care of transferred patients as well. These physicians each fulfill faculty appointments in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Meharry School of Medicine, and support a program of 18 residents training to become primary care family doctors.

Physicians include: Millard Collins, M.D., Mohamad Sidani, M.D., M.S., Gerardo Rodriguez, M.D., Vincent Morelli, M.D., Ruth Stewart, M.D., Jayshree Nathan, M.D., and Roger Zoorob, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.F.P. Upon discharge from the hospital, patients will be seen for follow-up and outpatient care at 3 clinics in Nashville: the Medical Arts Center at 1919 Charlotte Street, the Meharry Family Medicine Center at 1005 DB Todd Blvd, and Madison Family Medicine and Obstetrics, located at Madison Square Shopping Center on Gallatin Road.

These clinics handle all primary care and hospital follow-up needs Monday through Friday, on an appointment and walk-in basis.
