History

SCRI was formed in 2004 through a joint venture between Tennessee Oncology and HCA. The institute is named after the American comedian Sarah Cannon, more widely known by her stage name Minnie Pearl. Before helping form SCRI, Tennessee Oncology had conducted research on behalf of the Minnie Pearl Research Network since 1993.[11]
