The Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt last week announced two new communications hires.

Jeremy Rush, former media relations manager at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is taking the same title at Children's, and former Tennessean health reporter Christina Sanchez is the hospital's new media relations coordinator.

“We are fortunate to have two such highly accomplished communications professionals joining us,” said John Howser, director of the Office of News and Communications. “Both Christina and Jeremy are bringing unique talents to our department and to the communications needs of Children’s Hospital.”
