FRANKLIN, Tenn. (August 20, 2026) – Williamson Health is pleased to announce that Women’s Group of Franklin, one of Middle Tennessee’s leading obstetrics and gynecology practices, will officially join Williamson Health Medical Group on August 31. As part of the regional healthcare system, Women’s Group of Franklin will remain focused on placing patients’ well-being at the forefront, with the same exceptional providers patients know and trust continuing to provide care at the practice’s current location in the Williamson Health Medical Office Building in Franklin.

“Our clinical and leadership teams have worked closely with the Women’s Group of Franklin for years, and we’re proud to officially welcome them to Williamson Health,” said Tim Burton, chief administrative officer, Williamson Health Medical Group. “Their outstanding reputation for compassionate, high-quality care aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing exceptional healthcare for women and families throughout our community. As our community continues to grow, we remain focused on expanding services and access to care for the families we serve.”

Founded in 2001, Women’s Group of Franklin has provided comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological care to women throughout Middle Tennessee for more than two decades. The practice is dedicated to delivering individualized care through every stage of a woman’s life, from adolescence and pregnancy through menopause.

As an important part of the Williamson Medical Center team, which has been repeatedly recognized for excellence in obstetric and maternity care, the practice consists of experienced and knowledgeable providers including Lynn Ellington, M.D.; Heather Rupe, D.O.; Rebecca Eia, D.O.; Stephanie Dallas, M.D.; Nina Fredericks, M.D.; Ashley Moss, WHNP; Christa Patton, WHNP; Erin DeBruyn, WHNP; Keri Maizan, WHNP; and Kaitlyn Wilkinson, PA-C.

Women’s Group of Franklin offers a full range of obstetrical and gynecological services such as preventive wellness care, prenatal and postpartum care, gynecological surgery, menopause management and treatment for a variety of women’s health conditions.

“For more than 25 years, Women’s Group of Franklin has made supporting women through every stage of life its top priority,” said Lynn Ellington, M.D. “Joining Williamson Health Medical Group allows us to continue providing the compassionate, personalized care our patients know and trust while also becoming part of a respected network of providers that shares our commitment to women’s health.”

As part of Williamson Health Medical Group, the providers will join a growing network of more than 60 physicians and advanced care practitioners working collaboratively to provide coordinated, patient-centered care across a wide range of specialties including primary care, gastroenterology, maternal fetal medicine, urogynecology and pelvic health, breast health and more.

“It is especially rewarding to lead a practice with such a long history of caring for families, watching them grow and having the opportunity to care for multiple generations of women,” added Ellington. “With this partnership, our patients can expect the same trusted care and familiar experience they know, now as part of Williamson Health, with access to expanded resources and services.”

Women’s Group of Franklin, which has practiced exclusively at Williamson Medical Center since its establishment, will remain at its current location, Suite 208 in the Williamson Health Medical Office Building at 4323 Carothers Parkway in Franklin.

All existing appointments, scheduled procedures, surgeries and visits remain unchanged and current insurance acceptance policies will stay in effect. No action is required from current patients at this time to continue care.

Women’s Group of Franklin will also continue to work in collaboration with Vanderbilt Franklin Women’s Center, another well-respected OB-GYN practice providing care at Williamson Medical Center. For more information about Williamson Health, visit WilliamsonHealth.org/WomensGroup.
