Charting a new course for health and care in the greater Chattanooga region.
We’re using data and building the partnerships to effectively confront healthcare disparities.

We will do this by taking a data-driven approach to finding and funding projects that may include health care services as well as access to food, affordable housing, transportation, and other critical resources.
