Increasing Access to Care
Charitable Care Organizations Working Together to Create a Stronger and More Compassionate Health Care Safety Net for All Tennesseans in Need.
Through its advocacy, programs, and services, TCCN provides support, education, and representation for member organizations that provide charitable health care services to low-income, uninsured, and underserved Tennesseans. TCCN brings the charitable health care sector together for networking and support in a way that promotes relationship building and the sharing of ideas, promising practices, and lessons learned. In addition, the Network develops resources, links members to funding opportunities, provides training and technical assistance, advocates for increased access to care and improved healthcare policies, collects and disseminates data, and promotes member clinics and referral networks statewide.
