When people think of Tennessee, they think of the vibrant music culture, moonshine, and the Great Smokey Mountains. West Tennessee borders the mighty Mississippi River and is anchored by Memphis, home of music legends from Elvis to Justin. Middle Tennessee has rolling hills and the heart of country music, Nashville. Eastern Tennessee runs through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and has beautiful Chattanooga, great shopping in Knoxville, and Pigeon Forge (hometown of Dolly Parton). No matter where in Tennessee, traveling healthcare professionals have a great time.
