Has a doctor, nurse, faculty member, volunteer or other caregiver made a difference in the care you or your loved one received at the University of Tennessee Medical Center?

Our patients often express their gratitude for the excellent care they received in a variety of ways—through kind words, smiles, letters of thanks and financial contributions.

One of the most popular and meaningful ways for you to express your appreciation is to make a gift to the medical center’s Guardian Angel Program. This program enables you to say thank you and to honor the caregiver, faculty member or other hospital staff member who made your experience a positive one.

The process is very simple. All you need to do is fill out the form and let us know the name of your Guardian Angel. This individual will be notified you are honoring them as your Guardian Angel (unless you would like to remain anonymous) and will receive a custom-crafted lapel pin to wear proudly throughout the medical center.

Acknowledging an individual for a job well-done is one of the most meaningful forms of support you can offer. Your personal experience at UT Medical Center has provided you with first-hand knowledge of the high level of quality care provided by staff members who have chosen to work at an academic medical center with such a unique mission. Your participation in the Guardian Angel Program demonstrates you have an understanding of the important role caregivers and faculty play in enabling the medical center to continue fulfilling its mission of excellence in patient care, education and research.
