2026 Physicians Ball recap
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, physicians and community partners gathered for the Medical Foundation of Nashville’s Physicians Ball, an evening celebrating the people who make medicine in Middle Tennessee special. More than 100 guests enjoyed a three-course dinner, live music, and a silent auction, creating an opportunity for physicians to connect with colleagues, strengthen professional relationships, and celebrate their shared commitment to the health of our community. Remarks from CEO Rebecca Leslie highlighted the Nashville Academy of Medicine’s $250,000 gift to provide long-term stability and support strategic planning for MFN, along with an additional $50,000 in matching funds. The evening was made possible through the generosity of sponsors HCA Healthcare / TriStar Health and Baker Tilly; corporate table hosts Elizabeth Livingston, Realtor, SVMIC, and Tennessee Oncology; and the patrons, ticket purchasers, and donors who joined us in celebrating our physician community and advancing the Foundation’s work.
