June is Brain Awareness Month, a time to recognize the importance of brain health and deepen our understanding of the human mind. 🧠💙

From how we think and learn to how we build relationships and navigate challenges, the brain shapes every aspect of our lives. By studying human behavior, cognition and mental processes, we can better understand ourselves and those around us.

If you are passionate about helping others, exploring human behavior and making a difference in the lives of individuals and communities, FranU's Psychology program can help you turn that passion into purpose.

Today, Terrance Adams serves as Chief Operating Officer at Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital, but his journey to leadership began at FranU.

After transferring to FranU in 2007, Adams entered the Nursing program ready to serve. However, after three semesters and many prayers, he found a different path to service within the Health Services Administration program.

Finding his true calling, Adams graduated in fall 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Health Services Administration.

He continued his education at another university, earning his master's in business administration with a concentration in healthcare administration, staying close to his nursing roots.

During this time, he completed two internships, leading him to secure an Administrative Fellowship with Mercy Health – Lourdes Hospital in Paducah, Kentucky.

“I’ve been fortunate to have exceptional mentors who supported my professional growth, leading to progressive leadership opportunities at Lourdes Hospital, including Service Line Director of Orthopedics and later Director of Orthopedics, Rehabilitation and Neuroscience Services,” Adams explained.

After seven and a half years in Kentucky, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and opened a state-of-the-art rehabilitation hospital as its inaugural Chief Executive Officer.
