#73: Morgan J. Wills

Morgan comes from a family who has served Nashville well. His great grandfather founded the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, his mother helped establish Vanderbilt’s Children’s Hospital, his father has written 28 books on Nashville’s history, and his parents were key to the restoration of the Belle Meade Farm.
 
Morgan has been president and CEO of Siloam Health, a faith-based, volunteer-supported clinic for people with no health insurance and limited resources, primarily immigrants. Siloam serves people from 70 nations who speak 50 languages. Morgan has also received an MA in marketplace theology from Regent College.
 
Siloam does not just meet the physical needs of the people it serves. It provides a place where they can feel safe and loved. It’s called whole-person medicine.
 
This month Morgan is stepping down from his position at Siloam to become an associate professor at the Thomas F. Frist Jr. College of Medicine at Belmont, a school that in April, 2024 will begin training medical providers to treat patients as human beings and not just broken bodies.
