Thanks to all that joined us in Chattanooga in 2025!
Over 110 attendees from TCCN's member organizations as well as community partners and sponsors participated in this year's event. Thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers for sharing your gifts with us and helping to "anchor" our network for the year to come! We're excited to be back in Nashville on September 14-15 in Scarritt Bennett Center! This year's conference theme, "The Next Chapter: Advancing Access to Care" reflects where we are as a network — and where we're headed. For charitable clinics across Tennessee, the next chapter means meeting growing community need with stronger leadership, deeper resilience, and a renewed commitment to the patients who depend on us most. We've curated this year's program with senior clinic leaders in mind. Whether you're navigating workforce challenges, expanding services, or simply trying to lead well in uncertain times, this conference is designed to give you practical tools, meaningful connections, and fresh perspective to carry back to your team. TCCN Sponsored-tracks will include Executive Leadership, Operations, and Rural Health. We're also excited to offer a Community Health Worker track, hosted by our Partners in Health Tennessee Community Health Worker Association (TNCHWA). Whether you are a member of TCCN, TNCHWA, or a Charitable Care Supporter - we know you'll love our keynote speaker, Nina Morel, Executive Director of Coaching and Leadership Development at Lipscomb University College of Business. Her keynote address, Leading From the Inside Out: Coaching and Being Coached, sets the tone for the day — grounding the work of advancing access to care in the kind of leadership it actually takes to get there. Together, we will write The Next Chapter for charitable care in Tennessee.
