M. Dawn Linn
D.O.
Dr. Dawn Linn grew up in Hermitage and Mt. Juliet, TN, and always wanted to practice medicine. After completing her medical training from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, she went on to Jackson, TN, to complete a residency in family medicine through the University of Tennessee. She then moved her family back home to Middle Tennessee where they could lay down roots and become part of a community where she could truly care for the entire family. Having practiced in Hendersonville since 2010 and then starting her own practice in 2013, she is proud to be an established and respected member of the local medical community. Dr. Dawn Linn and her husband, Randall, have two boys, Davis and Nathan, and a daughter, Macie. They reside in Hendersonville where Dr. Dawn Linn is a member of the Hendersonville Rotary Club and Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce. She has served on multiple boards including the Hendersonville Rotary Foundation, Hendersonville Young Life, Children are People, and HolidayFest. She is respected as a leader in the community, having graduated Leadership Sumner in 2017 and has been recognized as the Best Physician in Sumner County multiple times, along with several nominations for Women Impacting the Community. She and her husband enjoy family time and travel and the opportunity to be a part of God’s plans.
Julie Phillips
Office Manager
Julie Phillips moved from Terre Haute, IN, to TN while in high school. Though having worked several office roles in the healthcare, this is her first lead management position. Julie has been with Dr. Dawn Linn since opening day and has truly enjoyed growing with the company. Her favorite part is getting to know the patients and playing an important role in their experience with Rapha Family Wellness. Just has been married for more than 10 years to her husband, Keith, and has two step-sons and one daughter-in-law. Julie’s dream job would be to have a farm on a large piece of land in order to take in abandoned and neglected animals. (Ask her how many cats she has!)
