Welcome to Tennessee!!! Born and raised there and hope to go back some day.
And go, Vols!!
I agree that Vanderbilt is a wonderful hospital, a sister goes there yearly for a chronic genetic disease to be checked up on (a 5 hr trip from our corner of the state) and has always had wonderful experiences there.
Also, I know you are moving to Nashville area, I have never lived in the Knoxville area so I don't know what it is like but I would just say from personal experience that east TN is plenty progressive enough and a very pleasant place to live. Since I am still a student I can't speak to the medical atmosphere of the area though.
Also one more comment- there is a lot of soccer in East TN, it wasn't big in popularity before but has really grown in the past few years.
