UT health science center expanding Health Hubs program across Tennessee
What began as an effort to improve healthcare access in Memphis is now expanding across Tennessee, bringing preventive care and chronic disease support to more underserved communities. The United Health Foundation has committed $4 million to expand a Memphis-born health initiative designed to improve access to preventive care and chronic disease support in underserved communities across Tennessee. This investment will allow the University of Tennessee Health Science Center to expand its TennesseeCares Health Hubs network from five locations to 13 by the end of 2027. The model, started by Dr. James Bailey, executive director of the Tennessee Population Health Consortium and TennesseeCares Health Hubs, began in Memphis and Shelby County and has since expanded into rural West Tennessee communities. According to UTHSC, the program has served more than 4,000 people through more than 20,000 visits since launching in 2022.
