Dr. James Parnell ’07 Dr. James Parnell ’07 Health care workers are working in a different world today than just two months ago. It’s now a world where patients can no longer see the face of the doctor caring for them. A world where one of the most important duties of a nurse is to hold the hand of a dying patient. A world where providing hope, in the face of rising fear, is a crucial management goal. This is the world where James Parnell, MD, a 2006 Lipscomb graduate, is now working at the emergency room at Sumner Regional Medical Center, the largest hospital and the most experienced COVID-19 facility in Sumner County, 30 miles northeast of the Nashville metro area. Parnell, an attending physician in the ER, is one of the many Lipscomb alumni now caring for COVID-19 patients across the nation during the current pandemic.
