NASHVILLE – During this week’s special session, House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) and Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson (R-Franklin) filed House Bill 7003/Senate Bill 7004 to redraw Tennessee congressional districts, ensuring the state’s representation in Washington reflects its conservative values.
“Tennessee is a conservative state, and our congressional delegation should reflect that,” said Sen. John Stevens (R-Huntingdon), who is carrying the Senate bill. “This bill ensures it does.”

The legislation modernizes Tennessee’s redistricting process by removing racial data from the mapmaking process entirely. It is a direct response to a renewed national conversation on redistricting. The Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP and Louisiana v. Callais decisions by the Supreme Court have clarified the legal landscape for redistricting. Those decisions confirm the state can put its lawful, conservative policy goals at the forefront.

The new congressional map will be presented in House and Senate committees Wednesday, May 6th with the expectation of floor votes in each chamber again on Thursday, May 7th.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. – Maury Regional Medical Group (MRMG) physicians, employees and leaders gathered May 5 for a blessing ceremony to celebrate a significant expansion of the MRMG Urology space.

MRMG Urology has increased its footprint to occupy the entire sixth floor of the Medical Office Building, which is located on the Maury Regional Medical Center campus in Columbia. This reimagined suite features additional exam and procedure rooms designed to elevate the patient experience and accommodate the growing demand for specialized urological care.

“Our commitment to providing the highest quality care and safety includes ensuring our facilities meet the needs of our growing patient base,” said MRMG President Nathan Miller. “By expanding MRMG Urology’s footprint to the entire sixth floor, we are able to see more patients and continue to recruit and support a premier team of urology specialists — all with the ultimate objective of prioritizing patient safety, comfort, ease of access and clinical excellence.”

While the practice has grown, its location on the sixth floor of the Medical Office Building remains unchanged, ensuring seamless continuity of care for existing patients. This project also aligns with a broader campus-wide modernization effort, which recently saw the renovation of the Medical Office Building’s front lobby and the expansion of its parking lot to better accommodate the hundreds of visitors who cross its threshold each day.

“The expansion of MRMG Urology is another key component of our strategic plan to increase access to highly skilled services for the communities we serve,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “While we continue to grow to meet these needs, our blessing ceremonies have become a cherished tradition, serving as a dedication to these new spaces and the compassionate care that will take place within their walls.”

The clinical team at MRMG Urology includes board-certified urologists Ian B. Berger, MD, Justin K. Kropf, MD, and Troy R. Larson, MD, as well as family nurse practitioners Robert Campbell, FNP-C, and Lindsey Chapman, FNP. They are complemented by John W. Coursey, MD, who sees patients at MRMG Urological Associates.

MRMG Urology is equipped to treat both routine and complex urological conditions using a combination of state-of-the-art surgical and diagnostic tools. Patients benefit from a tailored approach to care for issues ranging from kidney stones and urinary tract infections to advanced prostate cancer therapy and erectile dysfunction. Specialized interventions offered at the practice include inflatable penile prosthesis implantation, vasectomies and advanced repairs for pelvic organ and bladder prolapse. Additionally, the team utilizes precise interventional tools, such as cystoscopy, ureteroscopy and lithotripsy.

Patients at MRMG Urology also have access to robotic-assisted surgery via the da Vinci system in Maury Regional Medical Center’s operating rooms, which offers a minimally invasive alternative for several urological procedures, such as prostatectomies (prostate removal), complete or partial nephrectomy (kidney removal) and pyeloplasty to correct kidney blockages. The system is also employed for advanced reconstructive procedures, such as sacrocolpopexy for pelvic prolapse and ureteral reimplantation.

Appointments may be made at MRMG Urology with a physician’s referral. To schedule, call 931.840.8547. Additional information about the practice and its care team and services is available at MauryRegional.com/Urology.

The renovation and expansion of MRMG Urology is among several strategic projects underway or in the planning phases at Maury Regional Health. Improvements at the main campus in Columbia include the development of an Orthopedic Surgical Institute, which opens in the coming weeks, to accommodate the growing number of joint replacements, renovation of the Emergency Department at Maury Regional Medical Center, parking and thoroughfare improvements and expansion of the front entry to relocate key patient and visitor services toward the main entrance.
